Sansiao Gallery is pleased to present the duo exhibition “Ton●Jin●Kan●Chihei” featuring works by ippaida storage and Ippei Nakao. This exhibition showcases installations and performances by two artists with distinct approaches.

The concept of this exhibition revolves around exploring the relationship between urban landscapes, personal memories, and the body. In today’s urban landscapes, shaped by economic instability, demographic changes, new technologies, and gentrification, there exists a sense of “Tonchinkan” and the Buddhist concepts of “greed, anger, and ignorance” (貪・瞋・痴). The artists delve into these feelings of disorientation and chaos.

The video works shot in Miyazaki, ippaida storage’s hometown, capture the intersection of landscapes and personal memories. The fragments of memory and physical sensations intermingle, transforming the perception of time and challenging the reality of the artists’ existence. Using skin and body, the exhibition seeks to uncover new meanings in urban landscapes and explore relationships that transcend time, place, body, and technology.

Reexamining landscape theory, the exhibition addresses the experiences and sensations brought about by changes in urban environments. Through the unique perspectives of the artists, it aims to reinterpret the chaos and disorientation that modern urban landscapes evoke.
 
Artists’ Statement
What does the urban landscape mean today, when even the memory of a place and the itch of one’s skin are laid bare before us? What are the things that change, those we nostalgically remember, those that bring comfort, and those that cause resentment? What becomes maddening and frustrating?

In 1975, an avant-garde documentary film titled “Abbreviated Serial Killer” was released. This film depicts the childhood of Norio Nagayama, who committed a series of shootings from 1968 to 1969, by following the “landscapes he might have seen” through subjective shots. The “landscape theory” proposed in this film, spearheaded by activist and film critic Masao Matsuda, can be summarized as viewing the homogenized landscapes of rapid national development under high economic growth as “landscapes = invisible power.” However, since the film developed a narrative closely aligned with Nagayama’s personal experiences, parts of this theory evolved into a male-centric mythology in later works, such as Nagisa Oshima’s “Tokyo War, Post-War Secret Stories.”

Applying these theories in 2024 may not be feasible. Today, beneath Japan’s homogenized surface, things have been slowly mutating, revealing their distinctiveness through economic instability, demographic changes, unfamiliar technological entities, and algorithms. It seems that urban landscapes are distorting under new influences. Amidst this turbulence, the mundane begins to show signs of erosion and is transforming into a new form of chaos. This perversion is hidden underground, like sewage, and its exclusion is inextricably linked to acts of violence.

The videos shot in Miyazaki, the hometown of ippaida storage, capture the interplay between landscapes and personal memories. The transformation of the timeline, chasing, overtaking, and being left behind, as well as the influx of pseudo-memories, create a muddling effect on the reality of both myself and ippaida. The layers of memory and texture from ippaida become intertwined with my own body.

In this exhibition, we use skin and body to reveal traces of erosion and explore new relationships that transcend time, place, body, and technology, seeking a non-binary understanding of the chaotic and disorienting “Tonchinkan” state.

Hong Kong artists, Lousy and David Leung’s first show “OFF MENU: 東風” in Tokyo.
From an east (Hong Kong) to another east (Tokyo), Lousy paints on all surfaces across all spaces, taking cues from the spontaneous energy of the city street. David Leung transforms his unique Niseko’s “dine & snowboarding” experience into a surrealistic photographic journey.
Their works and this collaboration, inspired by the excitement of urban life and the fun of experiencing various flavours, to be presented as a secret menu for the viewers.

The characters known as “2D” characters have become idolized by obtaining the physicality of the “3D” through figures. I give movement to these figures and capture their continuity on a single canvas. In other words, I create artwork that visualizes the “time axis” or the “fourth dimension” within the realm of “2D” through painting.
Reflecting on the artists of the early 20th century who expressed movement and time within the canvas amidst the rapid development of industrial and mechanical civilization, I can’t help but feel a rotation of a vast loop of time, even as I now depict modern characters with movement and time using the same oil paints. This way, I entrust the physical rotation and the rotation symbolizing time and dimensions to these character figures.
The title of this exhibition, “RABBIT HOLE,” literally translates to “ウサギの巣穴” which means “rabbit hole.” It signifies a state of being unable to escape a certain situation, strange experiences, or alternate worlds. The subtle aura that the swaying, blurring, distorting, and lingering images of the rotating figures carry when combined with these characters that should be inanimate objects – this can be experienced as something extraordinary, akin to what lies at the end of a rabbit hole after chasing a rabbit.

Minimal art is a form of visual art that embodies minimalism, emphasizing simple shapes and colors while eliminating decorative and explanatory elements.
In this exhibition titled “mini◯,” we have invited 62 emerging artists to create both minimalistic works and works that are literally “mini” in size and have a round shape (“mal” in Japanese).
We hope to exhibit and enjoy these mini◯ works together with the 62 emerging artists.
 
Please note that the sale of artworks will be conducted through a lottery system only on the first day. For more details, please visit our website.

Sansiao Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition “2o2oAppropriation” with Taku Hisamura, Sakurako Hattori and Kana Minami with our collection.
 
Appropriation in art challenges the definitions of originality, authenticity and ownership and even questions the delineation of art’ s nature and the world in which it exists. We would like to introduce the work of Japanese contemporary artist Taku Hisamura whose embroidered works of recontextualised clothing brand logos inhabit the long tradition of appropriation art, evoking questions about the nature of mass production and originality.
 
In consonance with Hisamura’ s work Sansiao Gallery will present other artworks of appropriation art featuring work by Sakurako Hattori, Kana Minami, Bidlo’ s Duchamp and Pollock as well as Warhol and Pettibone.
 
“reproduction of HOMMAGE SGHK 2019” will be held simultaneously, where a selection of works from the Hong Kong HOMMAGE exhibition will be shown..

Food scene in the Bible, food as religious symbols, food as pleasure, food as just motifs like “apple = red sphere”.
In the long painting history, food has been drawn from various angles, and you can read and interpret life and states of the Art at that time.
 
From the landscapes and donuts painted by Ralph Goings, you can get a glimpse of American working class life.
Mary Ellen Johnson began to draw food triggered by trouble with her weight, and her paintings shows excess “deliciousness”.

Sansiao Gallery is pleased to present “A.R.Penck”, a joint exhibition between recognised Neue Wilde artists A.R.Penck and Jorg Immendor. whose works personified Germany`s division during the Cold War.

A.R.Penck was born in Dresden in the German Democratic Republic in 1939 and died on 2 May this year in Zürich at the age of 77. Penck explored how signs, numbers, and symbols could become abstraction. His style stood out for its simplicity, as well as for its confrontational and often ironic imagery. His colourful images depicting primitive stick figures were as much a sign of protest as they were sheer provocation.

Jorg Immendorff was born in Bleckede in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1945 and died in Düsseldorf on May 27, 2007. Immendorff’s paintings often used irony and heavy symbolism to convey political ideas. Best known is his “Cafe Deutschland” series of paintings, in which the opposing ideologies of East and West Germany are represented in crowded and colourful pictures.
He was a professor at Dusseldorf Beaux-Arts. and received the merit medal of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1998,.
