The book introduces Ito's recent works from Ito's"study on living things," among them clay murals as well as three-dimensional pieces whose use of embroidery evokes associations with large rocks and other organic materials, as well as the space in which they were exhibited.
There are several galleries, but I didn't have the opportunity to see large works like those seen in a large museum, so everyone was pleased to be able to see installation works and 3D works that use large spaces.
At Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015, Vo presents a three-dimensional piece with the torso of a marble statue of Apollo from the 1st-2nd century cradled in a vintage Carnation Milk crate and two works with writing by the artist's father Phung Vo in the northern entrance of Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art, an area that is usually closed to the public.
This exhibition focuses on nuclear energy and radioactive substances in contemporary society, exploring the topic of time scales far beyond the range that people can perceive. Kawabe will present new works including an installation comprised of precisely calculated light and shadow, two-dimensional charcoal works, and semi sculptural cut paper works.
Nishimura has mainly produced sculptural works using short-standing materials that go away along with consumption, such as bathwater additives and carpet cleaners. Focusing on the themes of"weathering" and"sublimation," the exhibition features a three-dimensional work"Monument" that uses air freshener gel shaped in the form of Monument Valley in the United States.
To introduce works widely in this manner is a mutual aid between cultural facilities and embodies Arijima's"mutual aid". In this exhibition, works such as Mr. Masao Kobayashi and Tetsuo Hatakeyama who drew a lot of scenery of coal mine from Yubari City Museum collection work, Mr. Mushio Mushimo who is familiar with Takeo Arishima, oil paintings of writers who are in Yubari and Hokkaido, Watercolor, Books, three-dimensional works and so on.
What is"contemporary art"? The works by artists I saw on my whirlwind trip to Mumbai, Kolkata and Santiniketan dealt with a range of issues in various aesthetic languages and media: paintings that presented a straight criticism of India's social issues including gender, wealth gaps and loss of communities through urbanization, as well as three-dimensional works with religious themes, drawings that incorporated calligraphy, and video works with reference to pop culture that avoided using regional cultural codes.
