Artists

Sarah Morris
Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka is proud to present “Transactional Authority”, the first retrospective exhibition in Japan of the American artist Sarah Morris (born 1967). Morris has produced a large body of work which reflects her interest in networks, typologies, globalization, architecture, institutions and the metropolis. Through her use of both reality and vivid abstraction, Morris creates a new language of place and politics. Morris is considered one of the most intriguing artists of her generation. The exhibition will feature close to 100 artworks created over the course of more than three decades incorporating paintings, all of Morris’s 17 films, drawings, and a newly commissioned large-scale wall painting. Morris’s film “Sakura” was shot in Kansai in 2018 at the moment when the Sakura tree blossoms over a three- to four-day period and people travel from all over the world to witness that durational spectacle. The internationally renowned artist has a close relationship with Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka (NAKKA) which is the first museum in Japan to hold several of her artworks in their collection, including a large-scale painting and film.
