About the event
Opening July 19, 2025, Kishio Suga presents a rare and commanding collection of works that span from the 1960s to the mid-1990s—each one a study in impermanence, logic, and the quiet rebellion of matter.
Known for his role in Japan’s Mono-ha movement, Suga’s practice defies assumptions about material essence.
