Excited to present perhaps the most surreal piece we’ve ever made! An Artist Walks into a Bar featuring Aki Sasamoto just released on Art21’s New York Close Up. In this hybrid narrative-documentary film, the performance artist and recent mother, Aki Sasamoto, day-dreams of drinking whiskey and creating an artwork of self-spinning whiskey glasses. As the artwork takes form, it becomes clear that it’s not just about drinking – the work becomes a metaphor for life, motherhood, and even the process of art-making.
