Excerpt from the Show Press Release "October 2, 2018, New York, NY… agnès b. is pleased to present the solo exhibition Prize by Curtis Kulig on view from October 11 to November 25, 2018. This new exhibition features an installation that includes more than 30 drawings, ceramics, a large-scale painting, and an 8mm film in which Kulig has invited Aska Matsumiya to develop a soundscape. All of the work captures the nuanced movement of professional boxing. Like dancers, boxers exist in the physical moment, the body is their medium, and every gesture is an articulation of strategy. The end result is exhaustion, and Kulig’s poignant illustrations give the viewer a chance to linger quietly in suspended time. Through ink, pencil, paint and film, the artist honors and toys with the seriousness of boxing." Related categories Vintage boxing. Muhammad Ali. Joe Frazier. Boxing photos. 1970s boxing.
