Based in New York City, artist Curtis Kulig primarily focuses on painting, photography and drawing. The creative multi-tasker currently has a solo exhibition, simply entitled Prize, at the agnès b. Galerie Boutique in Soho. It’s Kulig’s first ever show on the premises, and he presents more than 30 drawings, ceramics and a large-scale painting, in addition to an 8mm film in which he has invited Los Angeles-based musician and composer Asuka Matsumiya to create a soundscape. All of the work captures the nuanced movement of professional boxing. Very similar to professional 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 honours and plays around with the seriousness of boxing (on through Nov 25).

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
