Yoi Kawakubo

Yoi Kawakubo is a Spanish-born Japanese artist based in London and Tokyo. He turned to artistic practice after receiving a degree in applied neuroscience and subsequently working as a financial trader for several years. He creates photographs, moving image and sound installations, often based on historical research and personal history, all intertwined with economic, social and philosophical reflections. He is currently engaged in an artist-led movement to set up a network in Japan that could act as a trade union, government pressure group and knowledge-sharing platform for art workers. His recent notable exhibitions include The Yokohama Triennale 2020 (Yokohama, Japan), Roppongi Crossing (Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, 2019), 21st DOMANI: The Art of Tomorrow (The National Art Center, Tokyo, 2019), Linguamania (The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2017), The Vision of Contemporary Art 2015 (The Ueno Royal Museum of Art, Tokyo, 2015). He was a Fellow of the Overseas Study Programme for Artists, Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan in 2017 and the recipient of the POLA Art Foundation award for overseas research in 2016.

Six Days After Forever

Yoi Kawakubo’s exhibition ‘Six Days After Forever’ opens on the 11th March 2022 in collaboration with the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) at Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau. The exhibition shows a feature-long film installed alongside other objects in the room, exploring issues surrounding the ethics of genetic modification, the risks imposed nuclear radiation to human life and the ontology of human identity, whilst uncovering the long-imbued patriarchal bias latent in traditional narratives.
