On view at KAPOW in Manhattan's Lower East Side through February 22, works across the exhibition resonate with themes that have defined Nakagawa's career since the 1960s - most notably his persistent pairing of man-made objects with organic life.

In his graphic design work, Aldon transforms periodic tables and dense masses of information into maximalist pieces of design, expressing information whilst also challenging the impossibility of taking it all in. Data sprawls across screens and pages, overlapping in overloads and feedback loops, communicating more the aesthetic of information rather than its substance, playing with images we have all seen in science classes or colour palettes. These are exploded infographics.
