Event Description : 'Bodily Tactics' | 'Kyoto Casual' Two Exhibitions which are as follows :
1. Bodily Tactics (Artist : Kazuko Miyamoto | Curator : Luca Cerriza)
Through a selection of artworks and documents belonging to different phases of her career, the exhibition aims to analyse the crucial role played by the female body in the practice of Kazuko Miyamoto (Tokyo, 1942, lives in New York) From the early minimalist-oriented works of late 60s and 70s to the photographic works of the 80s and 90s; from the sculptures and installations to the various performative activities, in Miyamoto’s work the female and erotic body recurs as a form of resistance and opposition, as a critical tool to scrutinize social and aesthetic conventions. It is an attitude already clear in her early phase when, as assistant of Sol lewitt, she forced the boundaries of minimal orthodoxy.
2. Kyoto Casual (Artists: Fiko and Koma, Dumb Type, Michiko Tsuda, Poonam Jain, Amol Patil and others | Curator : Zasha Colah, Clark House Initiative)
The layering of red-orange-black volcanic rock in Kyoto is a metaphor for a culture — known in Kyoto as ‘Kyoto Casual’. It is a lightness of cultural production that puts side-by-side classic forms with radical contemporary art, avant-garde with artisanal, international national and local within a single narrative of one spurring and driving into being the other. This exhibition considers the strategies of choreography and body movement as a medium used by artists crossing generations, genres and national identities, with an ease of vocabularies that gain in meaning, through the simultaneous contexts and histories they push to the surface.
