| Kota Ezawa May 9–12, 2024 Fraenkel Gallery and Ryan Lee Gallery are pleased to present a joint exhibition by Kota Ezawa at Independent New York. The presentation will feature a selection of light-boxes, collage, watercolor, sculpture, and animations based on found imagery from contemporary culture. This exhibition marks the debut of Grand Princess, incorporating video animation and a vinyl wall installation. The piece depicts the arrival of a cruise ship into the San Francisco Bay in March 2020, carrying some of the first known American cases of COVID-19. Set against the picturesque landscape, the film distills these images into their most elemental forms, evoking the feelings of anxiety and alienation that marked the coming of a global pandemic.
