Cofounder of Los Angeles' artist-run Deep River Gallery, former Creative Director of Napster and creator of ueber.com, a MySpace alternative made for and by artists, Los Angeles-based artist Glenn Kaino has a multifaceted creative practice. His 2007 interactive installation work, Burning Boards--a room filled with chessboards whose pieces are different-size burning candles, in which competitors play matches using tongs to move the dripping candles--is characteristic of his playfulness and his penchant for meditating on political, pop-cultural and identity issues without being literal. This monograph, which focuses on kinetic sculptures and large-scale installations created over the past 10 years, includes contributions by Hu Fang, Director of Guangzhou's Vitamin Creative Space, LAXART founder Lauri Firstenberg and Eugenie Joo, Director of Education and Public Programs at the New Museum. Born in 1970, Glenn Kaino, who was included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial, is currently represented by The Project in New York.
Art Los Angeles Contemporary opened last night to eager crowds, with more than half the booths given over to local, cutting-edge galleries. We invite all fairgoers to join us on Saturday afternoon at 2PM for a Glenn Kaino signing in our booth, D-3, following Kaino's performance with magician Derek DelGaudio (jointly known as A.Bandit) within the fair. Please see ARTBOOK @ Art Los Angeles Contemporary for more information about ARTBOOK events at the fair. continue to blog
