Artist Name: Atsushi Kaga
Dates: in the presence of the artist, thursday 6 march 2008, 6 pm until 26 April 08

Exhibition Description:

Behind the playful and surreal façade of Atsushi Kaga's misleadingly simple and faux crude works, there lurks much darker issues of cultural politics and personal identity. The artist confronts the daily crises of facing the harsh and philosophical realities of the world, all filtered through the paranoia of the new world order. Kaga's razor-sharp humor and extraordinary imagination takes the viewer, willingly, on a journey of exploration through a dark, complex and often brutal - but very funny - world.

Curator Name: Nicolas Krupp
