Agatha Gothe-Snape
This exhibition will present the work of Sydney-based, internationally-active artist Agatha Gothe-Snape (b. 1980). Gothe-Snape’s practice centers on improvised performances employing a diverse range of techniques, ranging from PowerPoint slide shows to participatory workshops, texts, and visual scores. For this, her first solo exhibition in Japan, MAM Project 023 will showcase Gothe-Snape’s new work “Oh Window,” composed of an installation inspired by the Mori Art Museum’s motto ‘Art + Life’ and a series of performances that have developed out of it. The installation will interpret the view of Tokyo from the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower venue as a metaphor for the ‘life’ of ‘Art + Life’ to create a number of imaginary windows in what is, in reality, a windowless exhibition space. These imaginary windows will be comprised of graphics, video footage and other elements, incorporating motifs, conversations between Gothe-Snape and museum staff, and discoveries the artist has made around Roppongi Hills. The performances, designed to complement the content of the installation, will be staged over the duration of the exhibition, both in the gallery itself and in settings around Roppongi Hills. The imaginary windows in the gallery space will serve as visual instructions and scores for the artists, dancers and musicians appearing in the performances, while traces of the performances will reflect back into the installation, resulting in incremental changes to the view from the ‘windows.’
