Kai Jenrette

Island is thrilled to present Tournament, a solo exhibition by Kai Jenrette. The exhibition’s title references duckpin, a sport similar to 10-pin bowling, but smaller in scale. The drawings and sculptures included in the exhibition leave themselves open to the forces of gravity and the slight irregularities of the gallery itself, while recirculating the common materials used in the game.
