Collection of Recollection

Eröffnung: 7.2.2020, 18.00 Uhr; Ausstellung bis 13.2.2020 Yotsuya Unconfirmed Studio, Tokyo, Japan

Ausstellungsbeteiligung von Katharina Gruzei

Tokyo is standing at the milestone of a new era with the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. Anticipating the great waves of time washing over Japan, we call for artists to join our project to collect small recollections to prevent them from being swept away by the great current of change. This show will be a landmark event featuring video works by responding international contemporary artists from all over the world, including the USA, Armenia, Iran, Austria, Korea, Taiwan, China, Germany, Japan, France-Spain-Sweden (as a single unit) and Russia.
About 50 years have passed since the birth of Japanese portable video camera in the late 1960s, during which the product has became a tool to represent/express personal identity, and we take this occasion as an opportunity to select works that should be showcased in Tokyo, to look back at past events and their light and dark sides to reveal relationships among the countries. The exhibition will be held at a new alternative art space, which opened in 2018. Yotsuya Unconfirmed Studio used to be an old-style sento (a public bathhouse called Horai-yu) in Shinjuku. Its spacious salon next to the exhibition space allows visitors to enjoy related materials and catalogues, as well as interactions with others.
