Suspense, Coffee, Queer Time. Kanda Koshiro's 'Uchibura Rinne' (Kanda & Oliveira) Review (by Tomoko Yakumae)
Tomoko Yakumae reviews Koshiro Kanda's debut show 'Uchibura Rinne', exploring suspense, attention economies, and queer temporality.Summary
Tomoko Yakumae, curator at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Contemporary Art, reviews Kanda Koshiro's debut solo exhibition 'Uchibura Rinne' at Kanda & Oliveira in Nishi-Funabashi (May 16–June 13). The show spans video, sculpture, and performance, probing the suspended states between bodily sensation and social circuitry, as well as the gaps between record and memory, reality and reproduction. Starting from an interest in the 'highlights' of short-form video, the works present situations where only detached 'results' are repeated, causing events to hang in suspense and revealing the circuits of sensation and emotion. The review also notes the concurrent exhibition of Marta Palmieri's 'STRATA' and the display of Kanda's earlier piece 'Affection: Warm like Paris in the Month of May it was' (2019) on the gallery's first floor.
