Exhibitions
Tasogare, Kawatare: “In-Between” in Contemporary Art
From the Museum Collection
About the Exhibition
Tasogare (twilight) and Kawatare (dawn) —both also meaning “who is that?”—are archaic Japanese terms describing a time of day when the boundary between light and darkness gradually dissolves, and the outlines of things begin to blur. Focusing on the presence of kage, a term encompassing shadow, shade, and ambiguity, this exhibition traces uncertain forms and sensations found in twentieth-century art. On view are Yunoki Samiro’s (1922–2024) collage work Images in the Night, created from vintage fabrics; Okazaki Kazuo’s (1930–2022) Hisashi, positioned in the intervals of light; and photographs by Sugimoto Hiroshi (1948–) and Moriyama Daido (1938–) that capture shifting relations of light and shadow. Featuring many works acquired in recent years, the exhibition introduces a range of expressions that emerge in moments of transition and ambiguity.
