The Japanese performance and installation artist Chiharu Shiota will be showing her latest exhibition at Haunch of Venison in New York through June 16, 2012. The exhibition includes a large window installation comprised solely of found window frames Shiota collected in East Berlin. As with much of her other work, this piece is defined by the notion of “presence in the midst of absence”, and takes the forgotten, discarded frames of days past to create an interweaving, connected structure. To learn more about Shiota’s work, or other exhibitions on display at Haunch of Venison, click here.
