Kris Kuksi: Revival at Joshua Liner Gallery, New York

Kris Kuksi: Revival at Joshua Liner Gallery in New York is the fourth solo exhibition of the Kansas-based artist with the gallery. The show presents wall sculptures and an new rendition in the artist's Churchtank series. Kuksi's works are mixed-media assemblages made of countless parts -- small toys, mechanical components, and other objects --, which he combines into complex and ornate sculptures. Kuksi's work, sometimes described as Fantastic Realism is influenced by the Baroque and Rococo periods. Regarding the title of the current exhibition Kris Kuksi states that "Ancient Rome is our history teacher and our ghost for the future. Revival is about re-hashing, re-mixing, re-inventing, and re-creating." In this video, we attend the opening of the exhibition on November 21, 2013.
