Description

Cofounder of Los Angeles’ artist-run Deep River Gallery, former Creative Director of Napster and writer 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 stuffed with chessboards whose pieces are different-size burning candles, during which competitors play matches the use of tongs to transport 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 makes a speciality of kinetic sculptures and large-scale installations created during the last 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 on the New Museum.
Born in 1970, Glenn Kaino, who was once included within the 2004 Whitney Biennial, is currently represented by The Project in New York.
