Tokyo Art Beat
An exhibition at TOKAS Hongo features five Japanese and Korean artists reenacting 'being' through bodily experience.Summary
The exhibition 'TOKAS Project Vol. 9: Reenactment of Being' is on view at TOKAS Hongo until November 8. It features five artists—Eun Jaepil, Kim Dohi, Ku Donghee, Park Minha, and Mino Arata—from Japan and Korea, who present works that re-establish reality and life through their bodily experiences in the exhibition space. Curator Yoshida Sawako explains that the term 'reenactment' rather than 'representation' was chosen to emphasize the dynamic re-presentation of observed reality and life, reinterpreted through the artists' bodies. The exhibition commemorates the 20th anniversary of exchange between TOKAS and an institution in Seoul, and primarily features artists who have participated in TOKAS residency programs.
