Exhibitions
Takashi Kuribayashi: Roots
About the Exhibition
Takashi Kuribayashi was born and raised in Nagasaki, Japan in 1968, and currently living back and forth between Indonesia and Japan. Since the beginning of his career, he has consistently presented works in Japan and abroad that urge viewers to have physical experiences through a variety of media, including drawings, installation works, and videoes, under the theme of “boundaries.”
His works come from his deep interest in the relationship between nature and humans. Wald aus Wald (Forest from Forest) (Sensing Nature, 2010, Mori Art Museum), is woods made of Japanese paper spreads throughout in the exhibition room, and Genki-ro series (2020–, Nizayama Forest Art Museum, Toyama, Japan, etc.), is a structure shaped like a nuclear reactor filled with medicinal herb steam which visitors can spend time inside together. In Tanker Project, which commenced in 2021, a tanker is seen as a place where various ecosystems coexist and as a platform for transporting ideas and artworks. Those works are full of stimuli that shake our perceptions.
Created from the artist’s perspective, this latest solo exhibition uses various spaces outside of the Museum of Modern Art, Hayama exhibition room. The exhibition will include installations conceived for spaces that are not originally proposed for exhibition, as well as previously unpublished drawings and video works, to show the “boundary = now” between the past and the future of the artist who has been expanding his areas of activity in recent years.
