Korakrit solo exhibition at MoMA PS1!

We are so happy to announce that the work of our good friend, Korakrit Arunanondchai, will be featured at the MoMA PS1 in what will be his first solo museum exhibition! This is just another step forward towards Korakrit's complete dominance of the art world, and really, life as we know it, so if you haven't already... GET ON BOARD!

Join us for the opening on Sunday, March 9th from 12 - 6 pm at MoMA PS1, and wear your KORAKRIT x Electrolites so you don't look like a fool.

The exhibition will run through May 25th.

And as if that weren't enough, Krit will be presenting a special screening/performance in the VW Dome at MoMA PS1, collaborating with his twin brother, Korapat Arunanondchai, and performance artist, Boychild, with lighting by environmental designer, AJGvojic of Thunder Horse Ent. This will all go down on Sunday, March 23rd at 3 pm.

POINT OF VISION - Works by Gregory Ito. Opening this Saturday!

If you happen to find yourself in San Francisco this weekend, our boy Gregory Ito has an opening this Saturday, August 6th at Gallery Hijinks. Opening Reception 6-10pm.

“Gallery Hijinks is proud to present Point of Vision, a collection of painting, sculpture, and installation by Gregory Ito. In this new body of work Gregory continues his exploration of the concept of time, broadening his focus from lunar cycles to the cycle of a day, or rather everyday, from dawn to dusk and back again. Please join us for the opening reception on August 6th, 2011 from 6-10pm. 

Throughout our humanly existence, time is depicted through the sequenced deconstruction of the constant relationship between night and day. The relationship we hold with the Sun, Moon, and Earth has been an evolution of ideas that continues to the days of contemporary society. The tools we use to define time have changed from Stone Hedge to the modern day calendar. 

Gregory Ito’s current body of work is a reflection of human perception of these shifts presented through the mediums of painting, sculpture, and installation. The images he creates depict new ways to visually understand the concept of time, and use the celestial forms: Sun, Moon, and Earth, as reference points to the relationships that are discussed within each piece. The body of work carries this dialogue of our human connection with the linear progression forward into the future.”
