Anna Gonzalez Noguchi's Kamidana Series at Derosia, New York
In the front room of Derosia’s reception office in New York, Gallery Vacancy showcases 24/8*, a solo exhibition by Anna Gonzalez Noguchi, a Japanese-Spanish artist. This display includes wall sculptures from her ongoing Kamidana series, crafted from stationery, folded aluminum, brass, and fragments of magazines. Personal items inherited from her Japanese grandparents, such as cuttings from her grandfather's garden magazines, are integrated into the pieces. Elements like brass-etched orchids, name-tagged pencils, and folded aluminum with handwritten notes reference hybrid orchid names, days of the week, and her grandmother's age. The title 24/8 alludes to an incomplete work in her studio, symbolizing an ephemeral, unquantified time. Born in the UK in 1992, Gonzalez Noguchi resides in Athens, Greece, and earned her BA from the University of Brighton (2014) and an MA from the Royal College of Art (2018). Her recent solo exhibitions include Lc. Galaxy x 94 at Commonage, London (2025), along with group shows at the Liverpool Biennial (2025) and ART-O-RAMA, Marseille (2025).
