Ground Floor Gallery
343 5th Street (off 5th Avenue), Brooklyn, NYC 11215

skrl art prjct is pleased to present “キモカワ Kimo-Kawa” featuring work by Akira Ikezoe, Reina Kubota, and Kanako Nose at Ground Floor Gallery, 343 5th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11215, from March 2rd to 17th, 2016. The reception is on Friday, March 11th, 6 to 8pm. The title “キモカワ Kimo-Kawa” is Japanese slang combining two opposites: Kimochiwasui (or Kimoi in slang) and Kawaii. Kimoi means ugly, disgusting, gross, or weird. Many young people use this word for any expression of unpleasantness, and Kawaii means cute, pretty, lovely, or charming. These two words are usually incompatible but the word Kimo-Kawa designates a liminal zone: an object, person or character in-between cute and repulsive, somewhere on the borderline. ‘Ugly-cute’ might be nearly disgusting but also fun and somehow endearing.
