the show features work by: MASARU AIKAWA, MAT BRINKMAN, JOSEPH BUZZELL, BEN FINO-RADIN, AKI GOTO & TETSUNORI TAWARAYA – 7 Japanese and American artists “whose work touches on ideas of made-up, artificial, or simulated worlds. Thru pure ecstatic imagination, distortion, duplication, or simulation, they each evoke a sometimes lucid, sometimes monstrous sub-reality. All diverge at a point between humor and sober reflection. The work ranges from installation, drawing, painting, sculpture and performance.” (press release)
