Jun Kaneko: Project Based Installation in Conjunction with 'The Magic Flute'
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Rena Bransten Projects is pleased to announce the return of Jun Kaneko’s exquisite multimedia production design for the San Francisco Opera’s The Magic Flute – a vibrant and dynamic amalgamation of animated digital projections, costumes, and stage props. In anticipation of and overlapping with this production, Rena Bransten Projects will present an installation of Kaneko’s ceramic works at our project space, located only blocks from the War Memorial Opera House.
On view in the gallery window will be a selection of Kaneko’s intriguing Tanuki sculptures – audaciously colorful hand painted ceramic figures based on “raccoon dogs” from Japanese folklore – which are bizarre, kitschy, and absolutely fascinating. Additional to the Tanuki figures will be a selection of Kaneko’s hand glazed cast raku ceramic wall slabs, somewhat tamer in tone but just as intriguing, which champion Kaneko’s exquisite understanding and nuanced use of texture and line. A two channel video loop of costume drawings and footage from the 2012 production of The Magic Flute will also be on view.
