Artist Talk with Yasuaki Onishi
Saturday, January 17, 2pm
Kala Gallery, Berkeley
Kala Art Institute is excited to present an artist talk with Yasuaki Onishi, featuring in our current exhibition, Seeing Time – Time Traveller. This event is free of charge and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Yasuaki Onishi creates the installation Vertical Emptinessusing a combination of wire, glue, and crystallized urea. His memorable work shifts viewers’ attention from the reality of his mundane materials to the larger perception of air, gravity, space and light. He studied sculpture at the University of Tsukuba and Kyoto City University of Arts in Japan. He has had solo exhibitions throughout Japan, and his work was included in Ways of Worldmaking (2011), at the National Museum of Art, Osaka (NMAO). His most recent US solo exhibition (2012) was at the The Marlin and Regina Miller Gallery at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. In 2010, Onishi was the recipient of a United States Japan Foundation Fellowship that included a residency at the Vermont Studio Center, as well as a grant from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York.http://www.onys.net/
