"Hisayo Fukuda: At the Edge of the In-Between" (The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura Annex) Opening Report. Untying Boundaries and Witnessing the Birth of New Life
The exhibition "Hisayo Fukuda: At the Edge of the In-Between" at the Kamakura Annex showcases works exploring the boundaries between words and art.Summary
The exhibition "Hisayo Fukuda: At the Edge of the In-Between" at The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura Annex, features major works by artist Hisayo Fukuda (b. 1967) spanning from her early career to the present, exploring her unique contemplation that "words are small particles." The exhibition utilizes the museum's unique space to present about 20 groups of works. A new installation, "Driftwood / Shoreline" (2002-26), was inspired by Fukuda's visits to Kamakura, featuring particle-like pieces carved from erasers, resembling a beach mixed with crushed shells and stones, suggesting the ebb and flow of life. Contrasting this is "Winged Things / Cape" (2003-25), created by folding pages of books Fukuda loves, where the revealed words suggest both deconstruction and the weaving of new narratives. The exhibition space is arranged as an "in-between" where particles from various works mingle, underscored by a newly written palindrome poem projected at the entrance, reflecting Fukuda's artistic stance of untying boundaries and embracing flux.
