Bill Viola
The first retrospective in Asia of one of the world’s leading video artists. Bill Viola, first traveled to Japan in 1980 on a one-year arts fellowship to study and experience first hand its cultural traditions and religions. He extended his stay by six months to work at Sony’s Atsugi Research Center where he gained access to the most advanced video technology of the time. The influence of both experiences transformed his work.
This exhibition showcases work from Viola’s productive career, beginning with "Hatsu-Yume" (First Dream) (1981), the 56 minute video he made while staying in Japan, to "The Raf", (2004), one of his recent room-size installations. It is his first survey exhibition in Asia, and takes his “first dream” in Japan as a starting point for viewing his subsequent work.
