From April 4, KIOSK in Ghent presents a new solo exhibition by Hisae Ikenaga titled "Anatomies of Use." The Mexican-Japanese artist brings together sculptures, assemblages, and collages that rework industrial materials and everyday objects into hybrid forms, blending ceramic fragments with a visual language that balances functionality and abstraction.
The exhibition matters because it showcases Ikenaga's distinctive practice of transforming discarded or utilitarian materials into art that questions the boundaries between use and aesthetics. By presenting this work at KIOSK, a notable non-profit space in Ghent, the show contributes to ongoing conversations about materiality, labor, and the repurposing of objects in contemporary sculpture.
