"It's been a while since I've seen this title..." Misako Tago, Yuko Ota, Nagisa Takahashi August 2013, 8 - August 5, 2013

Exhibition
"It's been a while.
How many times have I written this title in my short life?

The day after tomorrow is August.
I've been doing really poorly lately, so I thought it was time to give myself a pep talk, and today I wrote out all my goals for August in my new planner.
The target is 100, the goal is 200.
Right now there are only about 60.
However, as I wrote down my goals, I felt more confident and was able to visualize myself heading into the next semester.
I feel like if I don't go back as soon as possible, I'll never be able to go back.
I'm scared of the negative possibilities that lie ahead.

See you later."
There will be held.

T+review

The titles written in a row on the walls of the gallery were particularly eye-catching.
It was like a frank confession of emotions. Because these were emotions that were so familiar to me, I naturally felt a sense of familiarity with the authors, even though I had never met them before.

"The exhibition will feature works created under a common title, which is a part of the diary of one of the members. Works with the same title will have different aspects depending on the direction of each member's work."
As stated in the greeting, the captions for all the works do not include titles, only the artist's name.

Many of the works, which converge from their respective positions in a single direction centered around the title, were highly spiritual. A puzzle of intricately interlocking memories, a cosmic egg containing a mandala-like worldview, and a boy sinking to the bottom of the ocean of thought. These works seem to be traces of the artists' inner exploration. Perhaps because of this, there was no sense of them actively appealing to the viewer or exerting any kind of pressure to make them consider the pieces, and they seemed to quietly stand there in a complete form that was not influenced by the viewer. It occurred to me then that perhaps one of the artists' "goals" had already been achieved at the time they created the piece.

In any case, they are sorting out their excess emotions and worries in their hearts, encouraging themselves, and trying to take a step forward, even if only little by little. Seeing their attitude, I felt like I was being encouraged. (Yamazaki Reika)
