Ishida Takashi: Between Tableau and Window
Ishida Takashi (1972-) has been internationally acclaimed since the 1990s for his video works created through his technique of continuously filming his own paintings. As a window into the art of time, his moving images show paintings in the process of being created and transformed, the qualitative changes in space caused by light and darkness, and the trajectory of the artist’s thoughts. After developing into installations composed of video, space, and three-dimensional elements, Ishida is now working on depicting space and time on a “still plane” by running his brush across canvas for the first time since his teenage years. This large-scale solo exhibition, his first since 2015, will reconsider Ishida Takashi’s works with representative and recent works, as well as his early works, including those never before exhibited.

KAMAKURA ANNEX May 18, 2024 – July 28, 2024
One of the key roles of an art museum is to preserve its collection of works and pass it on to future generations. Over the years, we have been striving to maintain an environment that protects the artworks, providing maintenance when necessary, and constantly updating our preservation methods to find the best ways to conserve them for the future. In this exhibition, the three words "repairing," "preserving," and "keeping" serve as a guide as we introduce the museum's behind-the-scenes efforts. Usually unseen, we reveal restoration processes, the tools used, and the ingenuity employed to exhibit works while protecting them.

Through exhibiting selected works from the museum’s collection of Japanese art, such as Tawaraya Sotatsu’s (n.d.–ca. 1640) Puppy, and Mandala of Both Realms, alongside works by the collaborative unit Iwatake Rike + Kataoka Junya (both 1982–), this project will cast a new light on the museum’s extensive catalog.
