+1art will begin a new project " ¡plas, plas! *" this year. This is a project to support young artists who use sound as a material or create works inspired by sound. This is an exhibition series in which various styles of exhibitions are planned together with artists. In the first year of 2023, an exhibition by 4 artists (4 groups) will be held. This exhibition is the first exhibition of ¡plas, plas! Project. Expression acts will become even more diverse in this turbulent era where unexpected situations sway. We have a feeling that unimaginable new style works will be born one after another. We hope that the gallery space will be the starting point.
This exhibition titled ``Walking / Unfocusing'' by Sho Yoshihama, who is active as an artist and performer, consists of field-recorded sound sources and oil paintings. In the sound installation using surround speakers, we will be able to experience how the sound of field recordings resonates in the gallery space, and the works that are unique to Yoshihama, who uses sound as a material. Also, on Saturday, November 4th, we are planning a sound performance by Masashi Ezaki, mizutama, and Sho Yoshihama. This is also a must-see.
(* ¡plas, plas! ” is a Spanish onomatopoeia for applause.)
