Yoi Kawakubo (b. 1979, Spain/Japan/UK) is a international artist with multicultural background who explores the ontology of structures regarding justice and legitimacy, the unearthing of marginalised historical narratives and the analysis of social issues such as the ethics of financial markets or the problems of nuclear energy. He addresses these topics by employing a variety of strategies, derived especially from photography, film, experimental literature, the conceptualist investigations in art since the 1960s and the logics of financial markets. He turned to artistic practice after receiving his degree in disabilities neuroscience and subsequently working as a financial trader for several years.
Recent group exhibitions include: _Afterglow - The Yokohama Triennale 2020_ (Yokohama, Japan), _Roppongi Crossing 2019 - Connexions_ (Mori Art Museum, Tokyo), _21st DOMANI: The Art of Tomorrow_ (National Art Center, Tokyo), _Islands, Constellations and Galapagos - Yokohama Triennale 2017_ (Yokohama, 2017), _Linguamania_ (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2017).
Recent solo exhibitions include _I/body/ghost_ (Yamamoto Keiko Rochaix, London, 2018), _Two million years of solitude, cherry blossoms and fifty thousand light-years more_ (Koganecho Site-A, Yokohama, Japan, 2017), _Stella Maris was a name I found in a dream_ (Daiwa Foundation Japan House, London, 2016), and _Fall_ (Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo, 2016).
