The FLAG Art Foundation Presents Spotlight: Kelly Akashi
The FLAG Art Foundation presents Spotlight: Kelly Akashi from June 18, 2026 until June 26, 2026. The exhibition features Kelly Akashi’s Heirloom (Sundial), 2025-26. A text by Franklin Melendez accompanies the presentation and examines the artist’s use of glass, bronze and photography to register loss through processes such as vitreography and casting.
The Signal
The focused format of the Spotlight series pairs a single artwork with commissioned writing, allowing collectors to examine Akashi’s material logic in depth. The presentation highlights her ongoing interest in negative space and chemical transformation, providing a clear signal of her conceptual priorities for curators and institutions tracking her development.
