Aki Sasamoto: Delicate Cycle Performance

Aki Sasamoto: Delicate Cycle Performance Saturday, October 8 at 3PM SculptureCenter 44-19 Purves Street Long Island City, NY 11101 ALL PERFORMANCES ARE SOLD OUT. Aki Sasamoto (born 1980 in Kanagawa, Japan. Lives and works in New York) presents a cycle of performances articulating a stream of consciousness and associations between various elements—such as washing machines, bed sheets, and mobile units—that she has incorporated in her sculptures on view in Delicate Cycle, her solo exhibition on view at SculptureCenter from September 19, 2016 to January 2, 2017. Aki Sasamoto: Delicate Cycle is the artist's first solo exhibition in a New York museum. Working at the intersection of performance and sculpture, Sasamoto creates object scenarios out of narratives and actions. For her exhibition in SculptureCenter's lower level galleries, Sasamoto has created a new body of work in relation to the site.
