Yoi Kawakubo

8 Jun-2 Aug 2018

Overview

Yoi Kawakubo’s work is fundamentally and profoundly conceptual, and yet the poetic visual and presentation may strike at first. The oeuvre looks to be trying to grasp the unfathomable, trying to make sense of the world that does not make sense. In this light it is fitting that in the solo exhibition ‘I/body/ghost’, Kawakubo examines the non-physicality of certain phenomena and how it acts and manifests itself in various ways, quite like an organic living mechanism equipped with will. Kawakubo’s artistic universe is complex with multiple layers of meanings. The visitor will arrive at the coherent message of the exhibition only when arriving at the final layer of these meanings. The procedure is similar to what he does with his wall drawings; strip down the layers and leave parts of each layer apparent, to arrive at the whole picture in the end.
