Jun Ichikawa
This is Jun Ichigawa’s first solo exhibition at Haishakkei and the works presented will include sculptures, installations and performances of three new works and six old works. Since 2011 Ichikawa has carried out research around the changes effected on public institutions and local areas as a result of nuclear issues in Fukushima. He has produced interactive works such as “Homeless Bath” (2011), which asked viewers to enter a large, outdoor, mobile bath so as to explore the boundary between public and private space. The material he has typically used in his artworks in iron, however, his latest works make use of aluminum, a material more familiar to our daily lives. One of these is “White bell” (2016-2017), which is comprised of around 15,000 cans that have been melted down and re-cast. This bell will be used to see in the New Year at the New Year Bell Ringing event.
