Shusaku Arakawa, Madeline Gins
Born in Nagoya in 1936, Shusaku Arakawa abandoned his artistic career in Tokyo and moved to New York in 1961 to "go a little farther." Using Yoko Ono's studio as a base of operations, Arakawa met his partner, the poet Madeline Gins (1941-2014), while interacting with many artists, including Marcel Duchamp. The two worked on the question, "What is meaning?" The two artists worked on a thorough pursuit of this "meaning. Twenty-five years later, "Mechanism of Meaning" is an ongoing project. The total number of works is 127, including 81 large two-dimensional works, 44 drawings, as well as photographs and models.
This is an opportunity to take a look at a large series of works that can be called a lifework, and to go a little farther beyond the meaning of seeing.
