Kei Ito: Beyond the Mushroom Cloud will be a virtual Artist Talk due to inclement weather

Tuesday, Feb 11 at 5pm

Kei Ito is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is centered around utilizing the conceptual framework of photography to visualize the invisible. Mainly employing camera-less photographic techniques, performance, and installation, Ito creates large-scale installations and a variety of photographic projects that excavate hidden histories. As a third-generation atomic bomb victim living in the US, Ito employs his generational history as a series of case studies that often applies the language of monuments and memorials, initiating a journey of healing and growth while inviting audiences to explore nuanced social issues and honor the memories of those lost to both historical and contemporary tragedies.

Ito's artistic contributions have been widely recognized and featured in both solo and group exhibitions. His works have garnered attention in publications such as The Washington Post Magazine, Hyperallergic, BBC Culture & Art, BmoreArt, The Denver Post, ESSE Magazine, and various newspapers worldwide. Notably, his pieces are included in institutional collections such as the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Norton Museum of Art, the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, the Candela Collection, Eskenazi Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University, and the Georgia Museum of Art.
