Residencia Octubre 2020 - Enero 2021

Phil Akashi (Brussels, 1978) is a nomadic artist known for his conceptual and cross-cultural experiments with language, materiality and aesthetics. As a vibrant player in the East/West dialogue, Phil Akashi employs a wide range of media to explore and challenge themes of democracy, power, resistance, and cultural identity. Also known as an Alchemist of language, Phil Akashi carved out a unique visual language often combining the use of traditional crafts with techniques of the abstract expressionism and street art movements.

 

Phil Akashi recently exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA) alongside Ai Weiwei and Jenny Holzer, at the Museum of Modern Art of Algiers (MaMA), at the Arsenale in Venice, and at the Power Station of Art (PSA) in Shanghai.
