My work is concept- rather than media-based, whether it takes the shape of a gifting performance work, a piece of art criticism, soft wall sculpture or Net art. LIMITED, LIMITED EDITION (2005-07) was a series of site-specific gifting performances that drew out viewer-participatory conversations about cultural difference while playfully querying how language and culture are often misrecognized through the distribution of mass goods (Go to akikoichikawa.info). WHERE DO WE COME FROM, WHAT ARE WE, WHERE ARE WE GOING? (2004), the first of my net.art pieces on Rhizome’s ArtBase, is a work of fantastical, impossible sculptural installations done with the simplest of means. My project with Chris Bors and Ketta Ioannidou's Cyprian gallery, VARIATIONS ON A THEME, another net.art piece is also in my Rhizome portfolio.

I have exhibited my performances at PERFORMA, Socrates Sculpture Park, in Incheon, Korea and in Jamaica Flux 2005 and 2007. I have written for FLASH ART and NY ARTS magazines and composed the extended foreword to Momenta gallery's 2004-05 season catalogue. I am also the grateful recipient of grants from Artists Space, the Public Art Fund, Robert Rauchenberg's Change, Inc., among others.
