Artists
Kana Ueda, Yasuhiro Oi, Mayumi Shichiri, Miho Tsuchihashi, Taeko Nishimura, Yoshiaki Yatsumimi, Yohei Yoshinari
This exhibition introduces works by seven artists associated with four welfare facilities in Japan, each of whom engages with ceramic production in different ways.
The exhibition introduces these works’ appeal from two perspectives. The first part, “Encounters with Clay,” considers how mental images are transformed into three-dimensional forms. The second perspective, “Encounters with People,” focuses on the places where ceramics are made and the diverse interactions that occur there. The act of gathering around clay and making forms together engenders a different kind of communication from verbal conversation. Through documentary footage and other materials from four facilities, this section explores how ceramics foster gentle connections among people.
We hope this exhibition provides an opportunity to discover a different side of Japanese ceramics and appreciate the many ways human beings connect in creative settings.
Venue: Gallery 1, 2, and Interactive Space
