Opening Feb 19: Gil Kuno Solo Exhibition, ON::OFF::ON

SHINJUKU-KU, Japan - Feb. 14, 2022 - PRLog -- √K Contemporary is proud to host Gil Kuno's upcoming solo exhibition, ON::OFF::ON.

From video to sound art, photography, installation work, as well as two-dimensional art, Kuno's ambitious retrospective spans across three floors, from the 2nd floor to the basement of the gallery. In addition to major works such as a series of complex electromagnetic dot-matrix displays that transmutes the movements of natural scenes (i.e., waterfalls and flower petals), and The Antmaster, an installation that merges digital and analog forms and enacts an analogy of the notion of karma through the perpetual movement of ants; Kuno's most recent works, as well as those undergoing production, will be on view at Kuno's experimental space Gil Lab. As the largest display of the artist's work to date, ON::OFF::ON offers the most extensive exhibition of not only Gil Kuno's works but also his creative processes.

【Events】
Various events showcasing a wide range of Kuno's artistry and talents will be held in conjunction with the exhibition. From performances that seek to redefine notions of sound, to artist workshops and discussions, each event will feature a special guest and approach a different theme.
