myplasticheart is proud to present to you a show curated by Aya Kakeda, which features 13 female artists from the New York area. With 13 being widely known as an unlucky number, the Bad Luck Club is a fitting title for this show. This exhibit features artwork from: Lauren Simkin Berke, Nina Frenkel, Stella Im Hultberg, Aya Kakeda, Dan-ah Kim, Hyesu Lee, Wendi Koontz, Yunmee Kyong, Angie Mason, Eun-Ha Paek, Fumiha Tanaka, Jen Tong, and Jing Wei. The opening reception will take place on Friday, September 30th from 6-9PM.
Aya Kakeda: “My idea was to feature my favorite female artists in the New York Area. I’ve been surrounded by really talented and young female artists since I moved to New York, so it was pretty easy for me to organize this. Some I have known for more than 10 years; some I’ve recently met. The title of the show came from my good friend, Eddie Hemingway. There were thirteen girls and the number thirteen gave him the idea for the show. The contrast of the title and the artwork is interesting. When people first see “Bad Luck Club,” it makes them think of very dark artwork, but the work of the thirteen artists is as vibrant and colorful as it is grim and melancholic.”
