Jacob Hashimotos Gas Giant

Jacob Hashimoto’s work studies visual experience in space, artifice, and craft through the use of materials such as handmade kites, fiberglass, marble and the skillful use of light. Combining traditional kite-making techniques and painting into sculptural environments, Hashimoto creates massive space-altering installations with thousands of thin paper sheets. The exhibition at MOCA Pacific Design Center will be the first L.A. presentation and the third and final edition of Gas Giant and will mark Hashimoto's first solo museum exhibition in California. The work was previously presented in Venice, Italy in 2013 at Fondazione Querini Stampalia by Studio la Citta and in Chicago in 2012 at Rhona Hoffman Gallery. Jacob Hashimoto's Gas Giant is organized by MOCA Senior Curator Alma Ruiz and Curatorial Assistant Selene Preciado.
