"Boojum" is a device that gives one a meaningless sense of balance. Its system is made up of 10 machines whose names all start with the letter "B": Broke, Backwards, Bridge, Brooklyn, Blind, Blemish, Bounce, Biscuit, Beijing, and Because. Among them, only Blemish is unable to make itself visible. All of these machines are black, and they do not move at all until Blind opens its eyes to the sight of the sun rising from between Brooklyn and Bridge. When Biscuit pours a cup of tea for Backwards, Bounce screams at Beijing, telling it to sit at the table. Meanwhile, whenever Because passes by looking for a slit, Broke sits still in silence.

Joseph Bolstad and Mayuko Kono will be exhibiting 14 works in the gallery space as well as one large-scale outdoor collaborative work made of plastic baskets. Having worked closely together for the past five years, both artists have developed a keen interest in ordinary objects as a starting point for creating their works. Bolstad frequently manipulates toys and other items into darkly humorous patterned configurations, while Kono’s works are ethereal transformations of items seen in everyday life. Opening Reception: August 29th (Fri) 18:00-20:30 *Open on weekends only.
