About Toki Ozaki
Toki Ozaki creates both craft and video and considers the two interrelated. Her textile works reflect the labor and time of weaving and are often meditative. The material evokes everyday life, and she feels that both material and labor are connected to human life and emotions. Having worked as a textile designer for 30 years, she can say that thread and fabric materials have become part of her life. In her video works, she fuses documentary techniques with unnatural proportions and deformations to create another layer of reality. She also explores time, which she sees as a duration naturally captured in photography and video. Her work aims to explore the relationship between humans, the environment, and society through visible and imaginative images
About Gallery Onetwentyeight
Founder/Artist Kazuko Miyamoto arrived in New York in 1964 and was an early member of New York’s A.I.R. Gallery, the first nonprofit all-women artist collective in the United States in the 1970s. Miyamoto soon began collaborating with Sol LeWitt, fabricating his early open-cube sculptures and executing his important first wall drawings. In 1986, she founded her own gallery, Onetwentyeight, at 128 Rivington Street, which still stands today as the longest continuously running gallery on the Lower East Side. The gallery has showcased a mix of international and local artists. Gallery Onetwentyeight is Miyamoto’s lifelong project and remains at the heart of the art scene, hosting exhibitions throughout the year while occasionally serving as her studio and archive.
