Figures
Solo Exhibition by Yukihito Kono
Dates: June 13th (Sat) - August 2nd (Sun)
Venue: IACK
IACK is pleased to present "Figures," a solo exhibition by photographer Yukito Kono.
While calling himself a photographer, Kono has engaged in unique, unconventional activities, from presenting his work in various formats such as collections and installations to writing texts and running the alternative space "IACK."
This solo exhibition, his first in approximately two years, was originally scheduled to take place during Golden Week, but the content has been changed at the last minute to include new works that explore the meaning of people gathering together, and the possibilities of "coexistence" in today's increasingly divided society.
Although it is still a time when going out is discouraged, please come and see us.
