LRVS Visting Artist Lecture: Kota Ezawa
About this Event
Kota Ezawa visually transforms imagery he mines from the news, the history
of art, photography, film, and popular culture in his video animations, light
boxes, murals, sculptures, watercolors, and works in other media. His process
of translating recognizable depictions of contemporary and historic moments
from one visual form to another, is an inquiry, for the artist and viewer alike,
into our cultural consciousness, shaped by images.
Kota Ezawa’s artworks have been presented in solo exhibitions at Fort Mason
Center for Arts & Culture, San Francisco; SITE Santa Fe; Mead Art Museum;
and Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Ezawa participated in the Whitney Biennial in
2019 and the Shanghai Biennale in 2004. His work is in the collections of
institutions including The Art Institute of Chicago, Baltimore Museum of Art,
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
The Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and
Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. A recipient of a Louis
Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, Ezawa
studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, the San Francisco Art Institute, and
Stanford University.
