Gallery Talk : Yamamoto Seiko + Shimizu Miho + Jin Choi and Thomas Shine

*Admission Free, No registration required (English to Japanese translation for the talk by Jin Choi and Thomas Shine)

■Yamamoto Seiko
［Residence Program］ Jul 4, 2023〜Sep 27, 2023
Yamamoto‘s creation derives from the homogeneous atmosphere of the new town where she grew up and her uncomfortable feelings regarding physical stances there. Recently the artist has applied this point of view to other cities she visited for residency programmes. The artist captured the town and lives of people through observation as “colors of signs, “and her creation expands in different media such as video, installation, and sculptures.

■Shimizu Miho
［Residence Program］ Jul 10, 2023〜Sep 27, 2023
Using textiles as her main material, Shimizu creates sets for live events and video productions, as well as costumes and props for performers and dancers. She is interested in the way the shape and meaning of her creations are transformed by the performer's movements, and has been working on sets in which the performer disappears and reappears, and humorous costumes that cover the face and/or parts of the body, transforming the performer into a monkey or an ostrich.

■Jin Choi and Thomas Shine of Choi + Shine Architects
［Residence Program］ Jul 18, 2023〜Sep 18, 2023
Our public art started with the “Land of Giants,” the internationally awarded, human-shaped electrical transmission towers designed for Iceland. These large, functional artistic installations transformed mundane infrastructure into artworks on the landscape. Our more recent public artworks use intricately patterned, community made large scale lace to create poetic intervention and new interpretation to public spaces.
