Kaz Oshiro Chasing Ghosts

Through June 7th, 2014, LACMA presents an exhibition of work by Kaz Oshiro at the museum’s satellite gallery within Charles White Elementary School. The exhibition juxtaposes objects Oshiro selected from the museum’s collection, new work based on his interactions at the school, and student art. Oshiro is best known for creating high fidelity sculptures of everyday objects—microwaves, dumpsters, file cabinets. By using the materials of painting (畫, 帆布, stretcher bars) to fabricate sculpture, Oshiro’s work transcends tromp l’oeil trickery and blurs the distinction between the two media. Oshiro was born in Okinawa, Japan and is based in Los Angeles.

Charles White Elementary School opened in 2004 on the former campus of Otis College of Art and Design. The school is named for local artist Charles White (1918–1979), who taught at Otis for many years. LACMA has been programming exhibitions at the school since 2007.

Public Hours: Open from 12 下午–4:30 pm February 8, 行進 8, 四月 12, 可能 10, 六月 7, 2014. Enter the gallery at the corner of Park View and Wilshire Boulevard.
