'FUTURA AKARI' (2021) features a curation of Akari light sculptures designed by Isamu Noguchi throughout the span of his career (c. 1952-86) and hand-painted by American graffiti pioneer, FUTURA2000, in 2020.
Futura is an influential graffiti writer and contemporary artist known as early as the 1970s for his radical approach to street art. Futura, like Noguchi, has unapologetically crossed boundaries and created DOPE radical work, using various mediums, including canvas, paper, sculpture, photography, graphic design, large-scale mural work, etc. I can't believe I am just discovering Futura, but I am thankful that he has ignited this fire in me to create freely, boldly, radically, and unapologetically. Like YES, and thank you!!
‘FUTURA AKARI’ is on view through February 28th, 2021.
