Tokuo Noguchi
Paper is an inseparable part of our daily lives, allowing us to have newspapers, magazines and fliers. If you want to print out the transcripts of the meeting you just held, you need paper. Business cards and notebooks all could not exist without paper. In this exhibition, viewers who would ordinarily take paper for granted will be able to appreciate it completely reshaped as works of art.
Tokuo Noguchi's "paper" artworks look like fossils, as though they were made of paper created 2000 years ago, and yet they contain a sense of transience and one becomes aware that one day they will disintegrate into nothing.
By taking paper as his material of choice and making the most of the expressive qualities it has that no other material does, Noguchi gives viewers the chance to see the full potential of paper. In addition, some of Noguchi's photographic works, which reveal another way in which he looks at the world, will also be on display.
