Aiko Hachisuka at Eleven Rivington

It’s not unusual to see second hand clothing as an art material in New York galleries, but no one quite turns it into the unique sculptural and painting surface that LA-based Japanese artist Aiko Hachisuka does. Here, in her installation on the Lower East Side at Eleven Rivington, columns covered in printed fabrics make dramatics statements from close and far. (Through May 17th).

When Aiko Hachisuka doesn’t want a piece of clothing any more, she doesn’t just bag it for the thrift shop.  The LA-based artist’s bulging cloth sculptures are made from clothing she’s folded, screenprinted, stuffed and stitched together in large, exuberant forms.   (At Eleven Rivington on the Lower East Side through June 14th)
