Yukihiro Taguchi
The first solo exhibition for Yukihiro Taguchi in five years features group of works derived from the experimental project “Discuvry,” in which Taguchi lived in a self-built house using waste material in an empty lot in Berlin for two years. The title “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” is the proverb Taguchi learned from a local artist in Nairobi, Kenya where he has been engaging in projects since 2012. He says that it matched his experience perfectly as he was in the middle of conducting the project “Discuvry” and interacting with others around his house.
Taguchi observes people and towns where he travels for exhibition and projects and discovers materials he uses in his works. These materials, such as fire, soil, plants, fabric, and waste have something in common in that each of them is deeply related to people’s daily lives. Taguchi moves them about freely and creates animations mainly in open public spaces like streets and squares. His works are the result of integrating communication and collaboration with people he encounters.
In this exhibition, Taguchi divides the venue into two areas. One is a screening space for the video works he created in Kenya, New Zealand, and Germany. Another space is a project space consisting of drawings, videos, and an installation of woven works that will expand during the exhibition period. “Let’s Weave,” a workshop with the artist, is planned for the first week of the exhibition. The weaving works created in this workshop will travel to Centre for Heritage Arts & Textile (CHAT) in Hong Kong and be integrated into a larger-scale installation.
