Kazumasa Teshigawara's mimizu began with a peculiar moment: feeding meat paté into code. Last Tango presents the final iterations of mimizu – works that evolved from the artist's "hello world" algorithm yet depart radically from their origin. The exhibition marks the conclusion of the mimizu algorithm, as no further works will be generated from this system after this final showcase.
15 December 2024 - 31 January 2025504 E 12th St, New York, NY 10009
Opening reception: Sunday 15 December, 6:30-9pm The artist will be present.
Central to the exhibition is the premiere of the mimizu book – a formidable 600-page volume that chronicles this evolving body of work. Each of the 90 limited editions (plus 5 AP) features hand-crafted binding and one of four distinct covers, three of which showcase previously unreleased works. Housed in bespoke red sleeves, with afterword texts by Mimi Nguyen and Casey Reas, these volumes materialize a decade of digital experimentation into tangible form.
