kaikai&k i k i: Takashi Murakami’s feature-length animation
The © MURAKAMI retrospective at the Los Angeles MOCA, while spanning a massive 35,000 sq. ft. and nearly fifteen years of Takashi Murakami’s work, it’s the inclusion of his newest and most unique works that matter in this instance:
Of particular importance, is the debut of Oval Buddha, an enormous self-portrait sculpture in the guise of a Buddha, and the premiere of part one of the artist’s first major animated film, kaikai & kiki. New installments of kaikai & kiki will continue at the exhibition tour venues.
Although the video above has been floating around the Internet for about one year, I recently learned of its existence. Part one will be on display through February 2008 at MOCA: LA, but will subsequently move to the Brooklyn Museum of Art in April 2008, then MMK: Frankfurt in October 2008, and the Guggenheim Bilbao by 2009, presumably with a new part of the whole film being added each stop along the way.
