In the Studio: The Spine of Music – Akira Ikezoe

In conversation with Diana Flatto, co-curator of Joaquín Orellana: The Spine of Music.

Join us live on Instagram from your phone, or watch on YouTube after, for a series of conversations with the contemporary artists of Joaquín Orellana: The Spine of Music to bring Americas Society's Visual Arts public programs to your home. Every other week this month, contemporary artists will dialogue with our Visual Arts department about their work and practice.

About the artist

Akira Ikezoe (b. 1979, Kochi, Japan) is a New York-based artist. He creates works in diverse disciplines, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and video, in relation to the balance between the forces we consider as external, and the “civilizing” of ourselves. In Ikezoe’s works, various objects from his surroundings are woven into a metaphysical and mythological context and often result in schematic compositions with flat backgrounds.
