The Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art is holding the third phase exhibition of Art Lab 2025, titled "Yohei Nishimura: Listening Closely to Sculpture." Unlike the previous 2021 showing which had restrictions due to the pandemic, this exhibition allows visitors to physically interact with the sculptures, including hugging them for a full-body appreciation. Featured works include pieces like "The Relationship Between Cup and Stone—Melting Stone" and "The Relationship Between Cup and Stone—Screaming Stone," which contrast stone that has melted due to different melting temperatures with the remaining cup form. Yohei Nishimura, born in Kyoto in 1947, is an artist and ceramicist known for works that highlight material differences through firing processes, often exploring themes of senses. The exhibition runs from October 11, 2025, to January 12, 2026, at the Art Lab of the Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art and is free to attend.
