Artists

Richard Mosse, Maria Taniguchi
Exhibiting works by two young practicing artists featured in the Taguchi Collection, one of Japan’s leading contemporary art collections. The Irish photographer Richard Mosse (b. 1980) works with military-developed infrared film and is known for his photographs from civil conflicts in Africa and immigrant migrations from Africa to Europe. His work was featured at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Photographs from his series “Infra,” “Heat Maps,” and “Infra” are on display. Filipino artist Maria Taniguchi (b. 1981) received the 2015 Hugo Boss Asia Art Award for her genre-spanning practice that includes sculpture, installation art, video monitor pieces, and the “Brick Painting” series of modular brick-like motifs on large canvases. This exhibition presents Taniguchi’s paintings and video art from the Taguchi Collection along with new sculptures she presented at a Tokyo exhibition this April.
