Bruce Yonemoto
An Opening
May 20th - July 29th 2023
Opening Reception: May 20th, 5 - 9 pm
Bruce and Norman Yonemoto, Asexual Clone Mutation (for our father), 1995
O-Town House is excited to announce Bruce Yonemoto’s exhibition, An Opening. Since the 1970s, Yonemoto’s work, often in collaboration with his brother Norman (1949-2014), has explored aspects of technology, history, culture, and identity through the lenses of mass media, art, and film. The exhibition and accompanying publication were conceived with Julie Ault and bring together a selection of sculptural works and video installations that investigate concepts of utopia, obsolescence, and the vulnerability of memory. The work often emerges from a personal narrative addressing Japanese American identity and universal experience, acknowledging the “seductiveness of media and the viewer’s complicity in believing, desiring, and consuming.” (Karin Higa)
An Opening, offers precisely that: an entrance into a remarkable body of work.
