Dispatches and Daydreams
collaboration between Craig Whitten & Mika Yamamoto

Craig Whitten expands his well-received Airship Series into a large-scale, immersive exhibition. Born of an explorative impulse, this body of work pursues the imaginative potential of airships.

This marks the beginning of the second collaboration between Whitten and writer Mika Yamamoto, thus solidifying their artistic partnership. Their first joint project, Come and Sleep, was a limited-edition artist book that reimagined a folktale about a magical Japanese fox. In this work, Yamamoto’s texts respond to Whitten’s imagery; word and image continue to evolve together through their established collaborative process.

Dispatches and Daydreams is envisioned as a first step—an opening movement of a longer journey. Whitten and Yamamoto’s core belief is to honor the organic process of dialogue between image and text—where neither are prioritized. Viewers are also welcomed into this ever-evolving conversation as co-creators of a better world.
