Hara Museum ARC is delighted to present Kengo Kito: Multiple Star Part II, the second installment of a 10-month exhibition in Gallery A.
In Part I, Kito unveiled an installation comprising 1,300 hula hoops, a favorite motif of the artist, which filled the large space with color and liveliness. Part II will showcase new artworks that include a number of large-scale flat pieces and a ceiling-hung assemblage made of net and string. This array of works represents an ambitous exploration by the artist of the relationship between line, color and space, and may also be seen as a harbinger of the works to come in Part III.
