Chim↑Pom
The notion of “borders” plays the key role in this exhibition. Chim↑Pom has been addressing this concept through the process of executing two of their solo shows in 2011: “Turning Around,” a group show curated by Chim↑Pom at Watari-Um Museum in 2012 and their on-going project, the unviewable international exhibition, “Don’t Follow the Wind,” which will open in the difficult-to-return zone in Fukushima in the coming year.
Chim↑Pom places “puzzles” and “paradoxes” as important factors of this exhibition; In fact, “Puzzle” pieces have been frequently featured in Chim↑Pom’s works since “Survival Dance” (2011), reflecting social situations in the form of broken puzzle pieces made with white walls of art galleries. At this show, the puzzles become reconstructions of broken pieces taken from various locations, which have been replaced by gallery wall pieces.
Through these new works, Chim↑Pom not only considers real borders between nations, legal and illegal, and history and social situations, but also extends the idea to thoughts and concepts of life and death and cultural and linguistic differences. The further advance of this idea challenges society through Chim↑Pom’s provocative expression. Viewers will be challenged even before seeing the exhibition, as the entrance to the gallery is closed; One may interpret this as the border between inside and outside or the exclusiveness of the art world.
