Kishio Suga

Two major installations by Kishio Suga to be featured at Luss House

At The Luss House Organized by Blum & Poe, Mendes Wood DM, and Object & Thing
The Gerald Luss House, Ossining
May 7 – July 24, 2021

Blum & Poe, Mendes Wood DM, and Object & Thing are presenting At The Luss House, an exhibition of newly created contemporary art and design, including site-specific works, at the former home of architect and designer Gerald Luss (b. 1926, Gloversville, NY) that he designed and completed for his family in 1955 in Ossining, New York.

A presentation of Kishio Suga’s wall-mounted assemblages inside the house will be accompanied by two large installations outside. Initially consisting of a loop of aluminum weighted to the floor by blocks of Oya stone, Continuous Bodies was first made indoors at Kaneko Art Gallery, Tokyo, in 1985. Four years later, Suga remade it for the space between two trees at The 20th Biennale Middelheim: Japan, Europalia ’89, held at the Middelheim Open-Air Museum for Sculpture, Antwerp.

Also on view will be Dispersed Spaces (2015/2021), an installation of six arching fishing rods anchored by flat stones which Suga first presented in his first New York solo exhibition at Blum & Poe New York in 2015. A larger version of this installation has been devised for Luss House.
