Ken Nakahashi is pleased to present "In a Landscape," a group exhibition by Ryosuke Imamura, Erik Swars, Sawako Nasu, Yuki Harada, and Eiki Mori, on view from April 10 to June 27, 2026.
What we call "landscape" is not something completed solely by what appears before our eyes. It is something repeatedly reshaped within memory and our sense of time. Various sensations received from the external world are slowly reconnected within us, eventually emerging as the sense of a landscape taking shape. This exhibition takes such a condition as its starting point.
The landscapes addressed in this exhibition are not contained within a single, unified image, but arise through the overlapping of multiple senses and layers of time. Traversing diverse perceptual domains—vision, sound, time and memory—five artists each engage with the concept of landscape in their own way.
The exhibition title is derived from "In a Landscape" (1948) by John Cage. The quietly sustained undulations of sound undo the weave of time, guiding the listener toward an inner landscape. This work serves as a kind of basso continuo running beneath the exhibition.
Landscape, then, may not be an image that simply lies before us, but something closer to an event—continually reconstructed through our sensations and memories. A sound, a light, the minute fragments of memory, and the slight displacements that occur between them together call forth a landscape.
Over the course of this approximately three-month exhibition, the works on view will be changed partway through the run, and the exhibition itself will be experienced as a landscape that transforms over time.
