[ambivalent-academic]

Went on a road trip with my girlfriend this weekend and we visited an art museum for my art history class!! I especially enjoyed this piece by Kelly Akashi titled Eat Me.

Graduation is approaching so quickly, and while I'm definitely ready to move on to bigger things, it's kind of scary to think about. My life will never be the same. But wouldn't it be boring if nothing ever changed?

FURLA SERIES – KELLY AKASHI

L’artista statunitense di origini giapponesi Kelly Akashi mescola i linguaggi contemporanei della sperimentazione artistica con tecniche tradizionali

[distinktionsfetzen]

Check out Kelly Akashi, Cultivator (Regeneration) (2024), From Lisson Gallery

[probablysomethingtm]

If you’re in San Diego now or will be in the coming weeks, I highly recommend you go to the SD Museum of Contemporary Art and see their exhibit of the work of Kelly Akashi. I saw it last week, and it’s probably my favorite art exhibit I’ve ever seen, it made me feel so many things. The pieces are full of meaning and depth, and the exhibit is arranged in such a way that you get information deeper in the exhibit that makes you recontextualize earlier pieces, adding even more layers of meaning. Names of pieces often recur, with each piece of the same name having noticeable similarities and differences to the ones that came before it, giving you not only a sense of the depth of the artist’s emotions but also the impression that her feelings on the topic have changed over time. It’s truly amazing, and if you’re willing to put in the work to engage with relatively abstract contemporary sculptures and photographs you will find it incredibly rewarding.

What is François Ghebaly’s “Strong Winds Ahead” trying to tell us?

Finally, François Ghebaly himself says, “These exhibitions are important for the gallery. We try to host institutional group shows at least once a year, using the gallery as a platform to amplify the voice of young curators or artists (such are Myriam Ben Salah, Franklin Melendez or Kelly Akashi), and to articulate their vision of the world today through these shows. They often take root in Los Angeles, but not always. Each show has allowed us to build bridges across generations of artists and enhance our understanding of current voices in art. These shows take a lot of work and I am especially proud of them. They are not just group shows constructed to sell art; they are genuine attempts to build a commentary and an understanding of contemporary culture and art practices. They are an important part of the identity of the gallery, and I couldn’t be more pleased with Lekha’s curation for ‘Strong Winds Ahead’.”

Kelly Akashi, Wielded Whorl, 2020. Hand-blown glass, bronze, walnut pedestal

[brooklynmuseum]

Triple Helix evokes relationships to and among bodies across time, history, and memory. Kelly Akashi imagines the biomorphic glass sculptures—inspired by the simplified contours of figural pre-Hispanic ceramics—as ancestral female bodies, tethered by a snaking coil of rope. The artist sees glassblowing as part of an established artistic heritage passed from generation to generation, but also as a practice open to interpretation by new generations, and she uses it to incorporate her personal perspectives and feminist interests.

This May we’re highlighting the work of AAPI artists in our collection. See Akashi’s Triple Helix on view in the exhibition The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time now on view.
