Takashi Ishida
Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to present “Beyond the Garden,” a solo exhibition of works by Takashi Ishida. In this exhibition, which marks Ishida’s first solo presentation in four years at the gallery, the time and experience of engaging with film and painting, painting and sculpture, sculpture and film as continuously pursued throughout the artist’s practice, is explored by means of a new spatial composition.
In 2019, at the Aomori Contemporary Art Center, covered deep in snow, Ishida created countless sculptures using a fretsaw to cut out shapes from 4:3 MDF panels in an improvisational fashion. The installation presented in this exhibition which projected various manners of light was an experience the artist himself describes as being reminiscent of Nijinsky’s choreography for Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring.” For his project, this spring at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishida created an animation work that incorporated the place and time of production while again engaging in creating sculptures. The work “Small Blue House,” conceived during the exhibition, was assembled according to the size of the museum’s glass exhibition galleries filled with natural light referred to as “light courts.” Such had been an attempt to incorporate once again the experience of time generated by the object itself into the two-dimensional context of film and painting that Ishida has long continued to pursue.
While the new work presented in the exhibition has been conceived in a space with a square window likewise to “Burning Chair” (2013), “Square Window” (2015), “Where Light Falls” (2015), and “Between Tableau and Window” (2018), the experience of engaging with planes and three-dimension, paintings and sculptures, images and objects, is expressed with unprecedented density and new techniques. The events repeated within a single room and the transformation of space is a further development of the unnatural drifting back and forth between the light from the skylights and artificial light from the square window, as well as themes such as walls and paintings. The artist also describes the work as being conceived due to the sudden generation of, or impulse to generate, a tree that ordinarily belongs outdoors, within interior space.
