An exhibition I put together on a recent Japan Foundation residency in Tokyo, Spooky Action at a Distance is open at Black & Blue Gallery in Sydney for the next two weeks. The show features recent video works from a diverse group of Japanese artists who who have not been shown in Australia before, including the body hacking of Daito Manabe, the strange world of the faceless dance ensemble KATHY, the Super Rat escapades of the controversial Chim↑Pom collective, culinary absurdity from Crazy Hat & Long Ear, kinetic banality from Tetsushi Higashino, reconfigured animalia from Ine wo Ueru hito, deft stop-motion transformation of floors and furniture by Yukihiro Taguchi, and the home made adventures of the self-proclaimed “masters of girl magic”, Kiiiiiii. For individual information on the spooks click on the images below:
This exhibition knocked my socks of! Great to see such exceptional artists in the one space together for the first time. Love Kiiiiiii!
