The commemorative exhibition "Wetland" for the Tokyo Contemporary Art Award (TCAA) 2024-2026 recipients, Tetsuya Umeda and Woojie Wu, is currently being held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT). The TCAA is an award established in 2018 by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Arts and Space to provide multi-year support for mid-career artists. Both artists frequently incorporate themes related to water, such as "waterways," in their recent works. The exhibition features Wu's project "grand-mother island project" alongside Umeda's work, which visualizes structures through new pathways, creating an interplay that resembles the boundary between land and water, or a wetland. Umeda is known for installations utilizing physical phenomena and sound art, while Wu creates installations using textile techniques to explore the inheritance of memory, particularly concerning her background as a third-generation Zainichi Korean. The exhibition runs from December 25, 2025, to March 29, 2026, and admission is free.
