Helen Oji - Kokeshiこけし Studies
Kokeshi こけし Studies reflects Oji's lifelong connection to Japanese culture, childhood memories, and the natural world. Inspired by traditional kokeshi dolls—symbols of protection and resilience—I explore their distilled forms through walnut ink; a material tied to my farming upbringing. The work becomes a meditation on ancestry, material memory, and quiet strength. Publisher - Yk OK Press USA
Yoko O.K. - Uncoiling: A Japanese-American Family's History
Part talk-show interview where Yoko interviews her deceased ancestors, part adventure storytelling based on what she learns from these relatives, the story centers mainly on her great-grandparents' immigration to California between 1905 and 1913, and the ensuing chaos. Some themes include banishment, transgenerational storytelling, family trauma and healing. Publisher - Yk OK Press USA
Su Friedrich - I Still Am; A Woman, Pissed-Off & Curious
Acclaimed filmmaker Su Friedrich takes us on an intimate and visually rich autobiographical journey through her personal journals and letters, showing her artistic influences, sense of humor, and flair for adventure as she describes a trip she took through West Africa in 1976 at the age of 21. Features 175+ b&w photographs, drawings and archival images. Publisher - Seven Stories Press
Chuna Chugay - That Same Wind
Chuna Chugay’s work investigates the legacy of the 1937 deportation of Koreans from the Soviet Far East to Central Asia—an act of ethnic cleansing that displaced more than 170,000 people, including their family. Chuna explores how histories of forced migration reverberate across generations. Chuna is currently writing and illustrating a graphic memoir called That Same Wind about growing up in Russia and the hidden history of the Koryo-Saram diaspora.
Sur Rodney Sur - Ephemera Box from Geoffrey Hendricks paper archives Sur Rodney (Sur) is a writer, curator and archivist who works collaboratively, drawing variously on performance, his writing, and community archives. He has been a fixture on the Lower East Side of Manhattan since discovering it in 1972 at the age of 17. A decade later he would be producing TV broadcasts for Manhattan Cable TV and the Mudd Club before his gallery venture and marriage to art dealer Gracie Mansion in the 80s, and later shifting his practice from gallery co-director to archivist working with artists affected by the growing AIDS pandemic. From the mid-90s into the following decade he would serve on the board of Visual AIDS to help establish the Frank Moore Archive Project. Currently Sur can be found managing records for several archives and managing artist’s studio projects.
We are also offering original Posters by Keith Haring (signed), Jean Michel Basquiat, Billy Name, and Leslie Lowe.
