Utako Shindo

Hagiso (Hagi Art) presents a solo exhibition by Utako Shindo entitled “Mokudoku” Shindo began her art practice in Melbourne 2003 and has been producing and exhibiting her works, which employ various methods and materials such as drawing, photography, video, sound, and text ever since. She also practices forms of ʻtranslationʼ through ongoing projects and research activities that go between Japanese and English cultural domains. She says that the enigma of the emergence of language, which she experiences though translation, is somehow deeply related to what she considers to be an existence that one cannot know, but art implies. This exhibition displays Shindo’s new body of work. During the exhibition there also will be a Reading Night event I which the artist and visitors read related texts and discuss the idea of ʻseeingʼ in art from the perspective of ʻtranslationʼ.
