[Tokyo] Metal Exhibition
The "Metal Exhibition" at Ginza Maison Hermès explores the attributes and ambivalence of metal through the work of three artists.Summary
The "Metal Exhibition" is being held at Ginza Maison Hermès Le Forum to commemorate the publication of the book "Savoir & Faire Metal" (Iwanami Shoten). This group exhibition examines the attributes of metal, such as gold, silver, and iron, which have accompanied human civilization from the Bronze Age to the present, focusing on the duality of their values stemming from the diversity of raw minerals and processing techniques. Through aspects like medieval alchemy, modern rationality, the symbolism of sound, darkness and light, and social hierarchy, three artists—Tadashi Enoki, Maiko Endo, and Élodie Lesourd—re-examine metal from the perspectives of music, video, and sculpture, exploring its ambivalence. The exhibition runs from October 30, 2025, to January 31, 2026, and includes related events such as talk sessions and gallery tours.
