Yoshinori Niwa, Naoya Hirata
Yoshinori Niwa (b. 1982) moved his base of activities to the Austrian capital of Vienna in 2016. Many of his works take the form of social interventions across media including performance, video, installation, and projects carried out during exhibitions. The titles of the works are slogan-like and self-explanatory, and in most cases the video recordings capture the entire process of realizing unproductive and meaningless actions in public spaces. By exposing conflicts that arise while performing the actions of the titles, the works depict the outer edges of institutionalized public concepts in Japan and abroad. This exhibition will feature 20 works, including the 2018 video "Dragging Adolf Hitler Out of Private Space" and "Sending a Bill to a Museum in Moscow" (2021), as well as drawings.
Naoya Hirata (b. 1991) presents sculptures constructed in the virtual space of a computer with 3D models and internet images, mainly by assemblage, to explore themes of space, time, and physicality. By using temporary images, Hirata represents other realities, and by experimenting with different versions of a possible world, he questions the relationships between reality and contemporary interpretations of the history of sculpture. This exhibition will feature eight works including "Shelf Under the Mountain," exhibited at VOCA Exhibition 2022, and the video work "Ectoplasm" (2017).
