The Women's Art Museum in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, hosts the exhibition 'Rethink – Noritaka Tatehana and Handwork' from September 10 to October 6 to commemorate 15 years of the artist Noritaka Tatehana's creative career. Born in 1985, Tatehana reinterprets traditional Japanese culture and aesthetics through his concept of 'Rethink,' creating works across sculpture, painting, and installation. His renowned 'Heel-less Shoes' series, inspired by geisha's high heels and worn by Lady Gaga, exemplifies his cross-disciplinary approach. The exhibition focuses on 'handwork,' showcasing his creative process, including material research, prototypes, and collaborations with traditional craftsmen. It also features historical footwear tools and a new painting inspired by the university's dyeing collection. Concurrently, the 'Venus' exhibition explores the archetypal goddess through modern reinterpretations of ancient sculptures and myths.
