KIKA cas is pleased to present Haruki Funakoshi’s solo exhibition through skill (higher than average year) on view from August 16 to September 28. Through skill: To “ignore or disregard.” In the midst of scorching summer heat, information overload, and constant change, perhaps we are in an age when we should develop the ability to selectively and deliberately overlook things. We invite you to disregard the ____ propped up against KIKA cas’s heavy gallery door to spend some time in the gallery and bookstore upstairs to escape the summer heat.

Note: ____ is part of the artwork.

It's too hot to think about anything. Apparently this year’s temperatures have already exceeded those of an average year. The heat doesn’t affect me when I'm in my room with the air conditioner and circulator fan on, but I notice it when I step outside. 

With this in mind, I want to do something that goes beyond my physical comfort for once and reflect on the process after I’ve recovered.
