For the exhibition Schema - Sukima at Laure Genillard Gallery in London, ARTOKA contributed a translation of Kitagawa Tomoaki's essay "A Form That Reflects the Shadow of Death," which appears in the exhibition catalogue.
Curated by David Connearn, Schema - Sukima brings into dialogue the work of three Japanese artists and their British contemporaries:
Tom Benson - Atsuo Hukuda
Kenneth Dingwall - Yasuko Otsuka
Gary Woodley - Yoko Terauchi
The exhibition looks at the ways in which artists’ interpretations of space, colour and material are informed by two convergent but distinctly different cultural traditions. These 'perspectives' have been brought into alignment by the presentation of works with similar subject matter and attributes, to focus on both the particular character of the artists’ intentions and their understanding of relationship between art-objects and ‘things’.
