Aiko Tezuka, Dear Oblivion — 親愛なる忘却へ

AIKO TEZUKA Dear Oblivion — 親愛なる忘却へ Curated by Sachiko Shoji (Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan) Exhibition on view until 16 November 2019 Galerie Michael Janssen Potsdamer Straße 63 10785 Berlin Teaser video by Küche --------------------------------------------------------- Galerie Michael Janssen is pleased to present Aiko Tezuka’s new exhibition “Dear Oblivion – 親愛なる忘却へ” curated by Sachiko Shoji of the Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan. Organized on the occasion of Berlin Art Week 2019, “Dear Oblivion” is the artist’s second solo exhibition in the gallery’s space, and it features works created in collaboration with the Textile Lab at Textile Museum in Tilburg (the Netherlands), the Kyoto Costume Institute (KCI), Kawashima Selkon Textiles and Kyoritsu Women‘s University Museum. Tezuka’s creative practice, though grounded in painting, has long found expression in intricate fabric installations and objects that explore themes related to the culture, industry, and history of the global textile enterprise. Processes of weaving and unweaving function to characterize both the artist‘s trademark aesthetic and her particular thematic preoccupations; as she articulates in her artist’s statement, she is “interested in loosening up such readymade nar­ratives to unravel forgotten histories or discover new plotlines,” and in so doing “facilitate the reexamination of the subjective nature of time and the process of metamorphosis.” In “Dear Oblivion,” Tezuka further explores these ideas with a critical emphasis on the deconstruction, reexamination, and reconstruction of the relationships between past and present, Japan and Western Europe, and art and craft.

Although the project is the same, its Tokyo iteration further elaborates Tezuka’s conceptual investigations of East and West, as geograp

When in Berlin, go see Ho Tzu Nyen’s ‘No Man II’ at the annual Atonal Festival at Kraftwerk! The reknown electronic music festival started yesterday and goes until Sunday. We showed the installation at the gallery in 2017 and are very pleased that Berlin Atonal decided to showcase this specific art work by Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen. For more information on the festival, see their website https://berlin-atonal.com/. 'No Man II' is a single-channelled multimedia installation. The film is projected on a two-way mirror glass, drawing the spectator into the designed world. The world brings together 50 different figures, all digitally created from online sources, that have a profound connection to popular cultural imagination. A ghostly choir assembles in a mirror – an unruly gathering of figures of uncertain origin. They range from animals to human-animal hybrids, cyborgs and anatomical figures; some of which are manifestations of mythical archetypes, while others are cultural stereotypes. #hotzunyen #atonal #atonalberlin #berlinatonal #kraftwerkberlin #kraftwerk #gallery #multimedia #michaeljanssen #installation #mediaart #art #berlin #contemporaryart #galeriemichaeljanssen
