Kishio Suga – Neither Things nor Sites

Tomio Koyama Gallery is pleased to present “Neither Things, nor Sites,” a solo exhibition of works by Kishio Suga.

This marks the artist’s eleventh solo exhibition with the gallery. Especially since 2017, he has vigorously held solo shows every year, thus constantly engaged in the production of new works. This year’s exhibition consists entirely of new works, including an installation and a selection of three-dimensional works displayed on the wall.

Kishio Suga (1944-) was a central member of the Mono-ha art movement that took place from the late 1960s to the 1970s. For over 50 years since, he has remained active at the forefront, opening up unique horizons in contemporary art through the essential world of his work expressed by means of the diverse existence of things.

In addition, his perspective of fundamentally reconsidering the way we observe “things” in resonance with the Indian Madhyamaka Philosophy of the “doctrine of the void,” continues to instil his works with a sense of universality, and his passion for further deepening and creating art is as yet unabated.

Suga has already established an international reputation as one of the leading artists of Postwar Japanese art, and has participated in more than 400 exhibitions in Japan and abroad. His works are also housed in over forty museums throughout the world including the Centre Pompidou, the Tate Modern, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, M+, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.

この度小山登美夫ギャラリーでは、菅木志雄の新作展「ものでもなく場でもなく」を開催いたします。

本展は作家にとって当ギャラリーにおける11回目の個展となり、とくに2017年からは毎年精力的に個展を開催、新作を発表し続けています。今年もインスタレーションと壁面の立体作品、全て新作にて展示いたします。

菅木志雄（1944-）は、60年代末～70年代にかけて起きた芸術運動「もの派」の主要メンバーとして活動。その後50年以上も第一線で活躍し、ものの多様な存在性によって表わす本質的な作品世界で、現代アートにおける独自の地平を切り開いてきました。

またインドの中観哲学「空の思想」に共鳴した「もの」の見方を根本から問い直す視点は、作品に普遍性を与え続け、その深化と制作への情熱はとどまることがありません。

戦後日本美術を代表するアーティストの一人として、すでに国際的な評価を確立しており、今までに400を超える国内外の展覧会に参加。作品はポンピドゥ・センター、テート・モダン、ニューヨーク近代美術館、M+や、東京国立近代美術館、東京都現代美術館をはじめ、国内外40以上の美術館に収蔵されています。
