"Medium and Dimension: Maze" is an exhibition featuring nine simultaneous exhibitions themed around the "maze." Each of these nine exhibitions shares time and space in a single venue, while maintaining its distinctiveness and overlapping with the other eight exhibitions.
The venue, "Gasbon Metabolism," is a renovated site of a large factory in Kitakami City, Yamanashi Prefecture, serving multiple functions including galleries, exhibition spaces, production studios, artist residencies, and artwork storage. Numerous artworks from various purposes converge here, sharing time and space among the nine exhibitions, overlapping with each other. Artworks constantly traverse invisible boundaries, forging unique relationships between territory and spatial dimensions.
In this environment where artworks flow through different functions, nine exhibitions are held under different themes. Typically, exhibitions are separated from non-exhibition spaces. However, these nine exhibitions transcend the invisible walls (partitions) created by the exhibition format, intertwining multiple artworks in a labyrinthine structure of corridors (galleries), transforming into a single exhibition "maze." This exhibition reconsiders the significance of complexity inherent in contemporary expression through a reevaluation of the boundaries of time and space in art.
