Futura Akari, FUTURA The Noguchi Musuem, New York
Occupying the Museum’s former Shop, this installation presents a group of Akari light sculptures designed by Isamu Noguchi from 1952–86 and hand painted by FUTURA2000 in 2020. It also includes two cosmic paintings in aerosol on canvas, one of which, El Diablo, is a classic work from 1985.
Room Service, Sam Friedman The Mass, Tokyo
Taking a formalist approach to painting, Friedman’s canvases are an exercise in abstraction that echo organic elements and textures found in nature. Finding inspiration in the natural landscape of his surroundings in upstate New York, his paintings are an attempt to put the images in his mind to canvas, whilst constantly adapting and changing his approach as the work unfolds. Often working on numerous canvases simultaneously, he creates iterations and sequences of works that share similar ideas, with each work becoming a unique manifestation of a concept that he can return to and examine in perpetuity.
Commercial Break, Joshua Vides SAI, Tokyo
The works on display in “Commercial Break” mark a decided shift in Vides’ style, most notably from that of his previous black and white series, “Reality to Idea”. This new body of work explores themes from comics, cartoons, and various media familiar to the artist during his childhood years—as Vides acknowledges these influences in his work today.
Humble Souls, FUTURA and BTS HYBE INSIGHT, Seoul
“Humble Souls” features eight “FL-006” sculptures designed by FUTURA which will be displayed in the center of his exhibition’s room. This grouping, with each sculpture featuring a unique color selected by each band member of BTS, will serve as a metaphor for continuous self-reflection, community solidarity, and diversity as strength.
Manipulable, Felipe Pantone
Gallery COMMON, Tokyo
Drawing inspiration from kinetic artists like Victor Vasarely and Carlos Cruz-Diez, Pantone’s works revolve around themes of dynamism, transformation, and digital revolution. The current exhibition takes these philosophies and puts them directly into practice. All of the artworks in “Manipulable” (a word which has roots in the Latin manus (hand) and refers to “something that can be moved or operated using the hands; something that can be managed, controlled, or molded”) were created to be touched and rearranged by the viewer.
