The large-scale new exhibition "Improvisation!" has opened at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM], featuring musician Otomo Yoshihide. The exhibition centers on the theme of "improvisation," which is fundamental to Otomo's creative process, and is built through collaborations with YCAM's research and development team, "YCAM InterLab," and five artists from various genres.
Key works include 《without records》, a piece composed of modified portable record players that create unique, non-repeating sounds, and the "Oburoshiki" (large cloth) works originating from "Project FUKUSHIMA!". Marking Otomo's first solo exhibition at YCAM in 18 years, the show interacts with the architecture designed by Arata Isozaki to create a world where unpredictable sounds and presences resonate.
