6-9 pm [LA]
exhibit: 'Buried Treasure: Taro Shinoda'
REDCAT (Walt Disney Concert Hall; 631 West 2nd Street; downtown LA)
info: 213-237-2800
detail: Taro Shinoda's works often engage issues of science, adaptation, and desire. In his installation PSP (Personal Satellite Project) (2002), videos and miniature hand-sculpted satellite models atop chrome computer bases offer a consideration of ownership and access to airspace. Shinoda's subsequent works continue this existentialist exploration of the science and space. In God Hand (2002), a giant wing is connected to an actual jet engine. Its potential movement suggests a dangerous yet fascinating manipulation of space through velocity and energy. Buried Treasure will feature new work initiated during a three-month residency in Los Angeles funded by the Asian Cultural Council.
