Events Description
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is elated to announce Halcyon / Kawasemi an exhibition of artist Takashi Iwasaki and installation with artist/designer Joseph Kalturnyk. Please join us on Friday, May 30, at 8pm for our opening reception.
The work of Takashi Iwasaki is vibrant, playful and alluring, but there is also a foreboding lying underneath the surface. Halcyon is an exhibition of work that celebrates joy and whimsy – a rapturous sense of play. Halcyon refers to the ancient Greek Myth of Alkyone and Ceyx, which heralds the story of enduring love and is symbolized by a beautifully coloured bird. It’s commonly known as a calm after a storm. Iwasaki lures us into a lush tapestry of colour and form.
Kawasemi is a joint installation with Takashi Iwasaki and Joseph Kalturnyk. The duo have been collaborating for years on interactive kinetic pieces, each with their own hallucinogenic qualities. This installation at Plug In ICA is a reinterpretation of a Japanese folk tale about a Kawasemi (or Kingfisher) bird and its search for light.
