Leeroy New featured at Hawai‘i Triennial 2022
February 18, 2022 - May 08, 2022
Multi-disciplinary artist and 2015 ACC Fellow Leeroy New creates his latest site-specific and environmentally themed works for the Hawai‘i Triennial 2022 (HT22). Leeroy joins other dynamic artists and collectives from around the island and Asia Pacific as participants in the largest showcase of contemporary art in Hawaii.
For the eleven-week Triennial organized by Hawai‘i Contemporary, Leeroy’s commissioned work “Taklobo” is an installation using bamboo and donated old surfboards and collected plastic bottles.
The event is made possible by the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, through the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and the non-profit MakeVisible. Venues for the city-wide exhibition include the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Theatre Center, Hawai‘i State Art Museum, Iolani Palace, Honolulu Museum of Art, Royal Hawaiian Center, and Foster Botanical Garden where Leeroy’s piece may be viewed until May 8.
