Alex Ito @ The Still House Group, Oct 9 – Nov 6

Alex Ito opens a new solo exhibition in NYC this week with Cloud Nine, running at The Still House Group from October 9 to November 6.

The New York-based artist pairs up with the artist-run organization for his second show with The Still House Group, having already participated in their rotating residency program.

For Cloud Nine, Ito confronts the delusional “positivity of progress” at the root of the utopian impulse, creating sculptures and wall-hung works that explore the promises of vanity, success and joviality found in corporate images.

There is currently no exhibition page for this show. **

Alex Ito + Greg Ito @ Et Al, Sep 25 – Oct 31

25 September 2015
news

Alex Ito and Greg Ito are presenting joint exhibition The Order of Shadowboxing at San Francisco’s Et Al., opening September 25 and running to October 31.

Based in New York and Los Angeles respectively, the two artists will explore Descarte’s idea of “I think therefore I am” in the context of a perceived ‘inertia’ in oppositional forces dictating politics and the “phantom will”.

Working within their own distinct disciplines -whether it’s Alex Ito’s digitally printed portraits and a three-dimensional maquette or Greg Ito’s paintings and sculpture -each artist’s interests intersect at a preoccupation with intimacy at its core, either a corporately homogenised concept of one, or the “seduction of the romantic narrative”.

See the Et Al page for details.**

Single Image @ Steve Turner Contemporary, Jan 4

30 December 2013
news

New York-based artists Brendan Lynch and Alex Ito are presenting a joint exhibition, Single Image, at LA’s Steve Turner Contemporary, running  January 4 to February 8, 2014.

Taking a found photo of a sheet billowing in the wind, the two artists make installations, paintings and sculptures inspired by said banal image to maximise the imagination required by each artist in an attempt to present “open scripts” of interpretation for its viewers. A laptop, text, plaster and office materials abound, while a painting by Lynch’s brother will surely bring questions of authorship, as well as ‘art as interaction’, into play.

See the Steve Turner Contemporary website for details. **
