Exhibitions
Samson Young: Closer Reading
Samson Young's first solo exhibition in Italy
Ordet, Via Filippino Lippi, 4 and 10, 20131 Milan, Italy
For his first solo exhibition in Italy the artist – renowned for a practice that weaves multicultural paradigms and cross-media experiences – brings together a series of works that he created during a residency at the Ryosoku-In at the Kennin-ji temple (the oldest zen temple in Kyoto) as a point of departure for “Closer Reading”.
Working with video, drawings, sound works and installations, the artist generates an articulated, absorbing environment.
