SUMMARY:Kelly Akashi: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Visual Arts is pleased to welcome Kelly Aka
 shi as this year's Longenecker-Roth Artist-in-Residence! With deft manua
 l skill and deep material knowledge\, Kelly Akashi’s visual language emp
 hasizes the impermanence of the natural world\, recording and indexing f
 ragmented moments in time. Her practice is characterized by a rigorous c
 onceptual approach\, yet the work is distinguished by a deep reverence f
 or process. Always a student\, Akashi continually studies new practices 
 and physical techniques\, including glass-blowing\, flame-working\, cast
 ing\, candle-making\, and stone carving. Born in Los Angeles in 1983\, s
 he holds a BFA from Otis College of Art & Design\, an MFA from the Unive
 rsity of Southern California\, and studied at the Städelschule in Frankf
 urt. Recent institutional solo exhibitions include the San Jose Museum o
 f Art\, Frye Art Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\, Henry A
 rt Gallery\, SculptureCenter\, and Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano\, a
 mong others. Public commissions include a monumental installation for JF
 K International Airport’s New Terminal One\, the Hyundai Terrace for the
  2026 Whitney Biennial\, an upcoming outdoor sculpture commission for Wi
 lliams College Museum of Art\, and projects with the Aspen Art Museum an
 d the Clark Art Institute. She is the recipient of the 2024 Distinguishe
 d Women in the Arts Award from MOCA Los Angeles\, as well as grants from
  the Trellis Art Fund\, Andy Warhol Foundation\, LACMA Art + Tech\, Pete
 r S. Reed Foundation\, and Tieger Foundation. Akashi serves as Core Facu
 lty in Grad Art at ArtCenter College of Design\, and in 2025 was selecte
 d as an Artist in Residence at Pilchuck Glass School.\n\nTickets: https:
