Details

The sunlight pouring down, the sunlit spots that give a sense of gentle warmth, the moonlight shining through the darkness... we encounter various kinds of light in our lives. In this exhibition, two artists who continue to be active at the forefront of contemporary art, Aoki Noe and Mishima Ritsue, will install their works in various places in the museum and illuminate the Art Deco decorative space from a new perspective. Aoki has opened up new horizons of expression with her sculptures that draw lines in space using iron, while Mishima has scooped up the energy of the place and converted it into light through her colorless and transparent glass works. The materials "iron" and "glass" that the two artists use are blessings of nature that have been passed down to us over time, and are also used extensively in the decoration of the venue, the former Asaka Palace, for chandeliers, reliefs, tympanums on doors, etc. The two artists have visited this place many times and engaged in dialogue with the decorative space of the 1930s to create a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition plan for this exhibition. Both Aoki Noe and Mishima Ritsue use fire in their creations, breathing life into materials with hot, shining flames. Their forms, imbued with primitive power, evoke the energy and cycles of nature, bringing surprise and awareness to the viewer and enveloping the world around us in a new light.
