Iwatake Rie + Kataoka Junya, and the Museum Collection
An Illustrated Guide for Gravity and Materials
About the Exhibition
Through exhibiting selected works from the museum’s collection of Japanese art, such as Puppy by Tawaraya Sotatsu(n.d. –ca. 1640), and Mandalas of Both Worlds, alongside works by the collaborative unit Iwatake Rie + Kataoka Junya (both 1982 –), this project will cast a new light on the museum’s extensive catalog. Kinetic works inspired by daily life and natural phenomena, as well as paintings and prints incorporating the scenes captured by telescopes and microscopes, will be installed to provide a unique method to explore the sculptural characteristics found in Japanese art, such as visual association and multiple viewpoints.
