Yudai Iikawa: When I Found What Was Important @ Art Tower Mito Contemporary Art Gallery

ART iT
Yudai Iikawa's solo exhibition at Art Tower Mito features new installations and a project where viewers transport a work to other concurrent exhibition venues.

Summary

The Art Tower Mito Contemporary Art Gallery is hosting the solo exhibition "Yudai Iikawa: When I Found What Was Important," showcasing the work of artist Yudai Iikawa, who focuses on the relativity of time and ambiguities in perception using diverse media. The exhibition comprehensively introduces his past practices through drawings, photographs, and video, alongside new installation works that treat informational ambiguity as a new possibility. A key component is the project "Decorator Club—New Audience," where viewers physically carry the artwork "Very Heavy Bag" to three other venues concurrently holding his solo shows, engaging them in questions about the boundaries between inside/outside the exhibition space and the relationship between "seeing/being seen." Concurrently, the exhibition "Criterium 102: Takuto Shiroumaru" will feature works by Takuto Shiroumaru, who approaches social, historical, and emotional aspects of places through sound and poetry.
