Yoko Terauchi
Yoko Terauchi has participated in numerous exhibitions at museums and galleries in Japan and abroad, including London and Germany. This will be her first solo exhibition at our gallery.
Terauchi moved to England in 1979 and entered St. Martin's College of Art and Design, where she began working with Anthony Caro, the most influential sculptor of the time. However, Terauchi began to question the standards of value that subjectively define things and the "sculpture-making as a formative process" that aims for perfection as an object, and shifted her work to work that denies the conflicts and distinctions created by specific points of view and use "things" that inevitably occur, rather than objects.
In works such as "Hot Line" and "Pangaea," Terauchi demonstrates the dissolution of oppositional structures by highlighting relativity through objects such as telephone cables and paper, by showing their front and back, inside and outside, etc., without the distinction of a straightforward duality.
Site-specific installations such as "Tower in the Air" are visually appealing works that use colored surfaces and straight lines painted on walls and ceilings to suggest through space that the space perceived on the spot is only a part of a world that cannot be grasped in its entirety.
In each of her works, Terauchi does not add or subtract anything to or from objects, such as rounding paper or coloring a space or part of an object, but draws out the inevitable form of the material and the nature of the place, and presents the question of how there is no distinction or conflict in the world and how understanding and perspective give birth to these things.
In this exhibition, Terauchi will present "One, Many, One," the latest work from the series "ONE," which she has continued since 2005. Terauchi asks the question, "Doesn't the division of the world begin when we count something as 'one'?"
