Basketball City / Pier 36
Booth 2.15
Born in Kochi, Japan, in 1978, and currently based in New York, Akira Ikezoe has been using painting, drawing, performance and animation to explore the ever winding relationships between humans and nature. His work is as humorous as it is philosophical, suggesting that nature is not only around us, but most importantly, that it exists within us.
If 6 was 9 aims to showcase Ikezoe’s unique practice through a display of recent oil paintings on canvas, as well as Hole: a 12 minute, hypnotic, black and white animation that sees Ikezoe himself shape-shifting into different animals and moving through a variety of indoor/outdoor settings, while a melodic traditional bamboo flute is played in the background. In his own words, “the beginning of my idea for this animation was to move my drawings with the stories that connect human bodies with animals through the “holes” which represent our unconsciousness of being connected to nature.”
As a result, spectators will be able to transport themselves from the busy fair experience into a more peaceful setting where Ikezoe’s work pays tribute to nature, while the bamboo flute plays its soothing and melodic tunes, and beach tea (a particular type of tea grown specifically in Ikezoe’s hometown- Kochi) is shared with all.
