Let's stop making excuses to hide who we are and not know where to start.
Experiences make us.
Experience is the past.
The past becomes a memory.
Memories are romanticized and affirmed.So, are we ourselves beings that can be glorified and affirmed?
T+review
Artists tend to think that creating good works is everything, but how you create the space surrounding the work is just as important. The artist here is good at that. I remember that in his previous solo exhibition, he had done meticulous exhibition preparations to make the works look their best, but this time, he made an even bolder, more relaxed use of the space. Books that he used as reference for his work were lined up next to the counter, drawings covered the entire wall, and pictures were drawn with tape on the floor. There were several prints outlining the concept of the exhibition, and even the artist's life up to now was described in detail. The overall impression of the works was that they were drawn as they wished of things that had happened in the past, but I felt that these works would not have been able to stand as works without the space.
I often hear people say that contemporary art is hard to understand and boring, but I think that's because the space doesn't make the most of the work. Exhibitions that have been designed to suit the work are enjoyable in their own way, even if you don't understand it well. When I took that into consideration, I felt that this exhibition was very entertaining for the viewer.
