Artists

Shohei Fujita
The “Pots” in the exhibition’s title refers to pottery itself. Usually, we tend to inadvertently consider the pottery we purchase or admire as either “functional” or “dysfunctional”. Fujita aims to blur this boundary between the aesthetic and the domestic, and explores work like following: “for example, we notice that food is served on a plate that was until now hung on the wall like a painting. Or, a flower vase can be seen as a sculpture in which flowers can be arranged sometimes.” His works may go on the table, the shelf, or on the wall, changing from “functional” to “visually pleasurable” and back again, or combining both at once, and thereby filling and coloring the spaces of daily life.
