Jacob Hashimoto: GAS GIANT will be opening to the public on 29 May 2013. Organized by Studio la Città â Verona, it will be installed on the fourth floor of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, in an area recently restructured by Mario Botta. After a long series of installations in museums and international exhibition spaces (among them the work Superabundant Atmosphere installed in Palazzo Fortuny, Venice, on the occasion of the show In-finitum, 2009), Jacob Hashimoto, concurrently with the 55th Venice Art Biennale, is now to fill the Fondazione Querini Stampaliaâs Venetian building with a new installation. GAS GIANT consists of 10,000 bamboo and paper kites handmade by the artist; these will be the visitorsâ companion from the central room to the top floor. Here the work condenses and is transformed into a thick cloud that invades and saturates the space.
Monograph published by Marsilio Editori and curated by Luca Massimo Barbero.
