Kishio Suga
This exhibition is composed of photographs of outdoor installations made by Suga in the 1970s, a large relief work entitled Surrounding and Connected Scenery (1998), and more recent works.
Suga has placed his art in all sorts of outdoor locations. He has created these works on site in relation to nature with minimal human action and without concern for the presence of viewers. The photographs in the present show are documentary photographs of these outdoor works taken by the artist. The dialogue between the artist and materials becomes quite lively in natural sites such as woods or a pond. Surrounding and Connected Scenery was shown in “Version – Kishio Suga” at the Yamaguchi Prefectural Art Museum in 1998. This piece was 40 meters long and covered a large wall of the museum. Constructed of orange-painted wooden panels, connected and extended by aluminum rods, it dynamically dominated the exhibition space. The same work will be rearranged to suit the space of our gallery for this exhibition. Recent floor pieces are also included in the show.
Artist talk: March 10th (Sat) 17:30
