Aki Sasamoto. Grilled Diagrams

Studio Voltaire is delighted to welcome Japanese artist Aki Sasamoto (b. 1980, Kanagawa, Japan) for ‘Grilled Diagrams’, her very first solo exhibition in the UK.

Step inside a large-scale installation that is both an immersive sculpture and a live performance stage. At the center of the room sits a massive, custom-built griddle—a playful nod to the high-energy world of television cooking shows and busy street food carts. It’s a unique space where the kitchen and the art gallery become one.

During the opening and closing weeks of the exhibition, Sasamoto will bring the space to life through a series of live performances.

Watch as she uses the griddle as a canvas, turning the act of cooking into a choreographed dance of drawing and movement. By using ingredients to create ever-changing patterns, Sasamoto invites us to find the hidden poetry and beauty in the most ordinary parts of our daily lives.
