Akemi Takeda
FALLOUT SHELTER

July 15 – August 11, 2025

Gallery Talk: Saturday, Aug 9, 14:00–15:00
Akemi Takeda, Rev. Dr. TK Nakagaki, Shinji Harada

Akemi Takeda came to New York from Japan in 1976. She began representing anti-nuclear appealing works after being inspired by fallout shelter signs scattered in the warehouse district of SoHo, where she moved in 1979. Since creating silkscreen printed photo collage “Fallout Shelter” in 1985, her motifs have expanded to include atomic bombings, nuclear testings, and nuclear power plants. This exhibition features 12 pieces (2019–2025) among the series that combines thermal transfer printing with drawing, which is her retrospective result of pursuing creation for decades.

Vassilina Dikidjieva
METROPOLIS

June 24 – July 12, 2025

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 26, 6-8 pm

Vassilina Dikidjieva (b. in Bulgaria) studied architecture in the Higher Institute of Civil Engineering in Sofia, Bulgaria, and graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute, Russia. With her career as a professional architect, she worked in Bulgaria, Ethiopia and New York. She currently lives and works in New Jersey, USA.

“The masterfully rendered figures, some of them paraphrases of well-known classical works, intentionally span the height and width of the entire paintings – the city with its roofs, towers and windows dominates in the composition, but the incorporeal human forms dominate in their scale. It seems to me that this intentional inversion of the scale of the human against the city is one of the greatest distinctions of Vassilina’s creative work.” [Ventzislav Iliev] The full text here
