Kozue Sagawa
Kozue Sagawa / Makoto Morino received the Grand Prize in the 24th “1_WALL” Graphics Competition (2021) for “REM,” Ms. Sagawa’s attempt to communicate with Makoto Morino, her imaginary alter ego, through artwork. Sagawa noted that “1_WALL” eligibility was open only to individual artists, and “REM” evolved out of her idea to experiment and see whether it would be possible to enter the competition as a duo consisting of herself and an imaginary person.
“REM” began on the premise that work arrived at Sagawa’s home from Makoto Morino, a wood panel framed by what appeared to be painted. Sagawa then attempted to create a joint work in collaboration with Morino. She created an illustration to augment Morino's original work using drooling, licking, and candle flame blowing as her means of expression. The judges gave high marks to the elaboration of the premise of exhibiting with an imaginary person and to Sagawa’s creative devices.
In her solo exhibition, Kozue Sagawa will take what she did for group shows one step further, displaying images of the morning of the last day, when daily repetition comes to an end. Likening the whole venue to a room, she links multiple pieces of copy paper on which she makes illustrations drawn in pastels, pencil and mechanical pencil, three-dimensional works, and installations combined with live performances. Through these works, she communicates with Makoto Morino.
Visitors will have an opportunity to see how Kozue Sagawa / Makoto Morino have evolved in the year since winning the Grand Prize. A talk event featuring Sagawa, Morino, and editor Kiyonori Muroga will take place on October 6 (Tue).
