TOUCH IT







Humans rely on vision to survive, but we do not see reality as it is. Reality as it is (as it is) is too much information to process, so the object appears only when we select the necessary information.。
Tactile sensation, on the other hand, perceives objects that touch the body, so the senses are engaged before information is selected. Because we are in such direct contact with the object, tactile sensation has a strong reality. When we are able to understand something clearly, we call it "understand it like the back of my hand.
However, it is usually forbidden to touch artworks at exhibition venues. It is extremely difficult to hold an exhibition where the works can be touched in a place that is visited by an unspecified number of people. On the other hand, it is natural that people who are interested in a work of art will want to know more about it. Can't we hold an exhibition where visitors can touch the works under certain conditions? This is how the “Teketorotori” exhibition project began. The first exhibition was held in 2023 and was well received. This exhibition will be the second.
   *
Unlike most exhibitions, this exhibition will feature few works of art. Viewers will select works from a list and view them one by one at their own desks. This is similar to requesting a book from the library and browsing the books that are offered to you. In addition to the nine artists participating in this exhibition, there will be other three-dimensional and two-dimensional works commissioned by the gallery. We hope you will take this opportunity to appreciate the details of these rarely seen works to your heart's content.

FUJIMOTO YUKIO

FUJIMOTO Yukio

more

Born 1950 in Aichi. Graduated from the music department of Osaka University of Arts in 1975. Has used electronics in performances and installations since the 1970s, and made sound objects since the mid-80s. Fujimoto’s output includes works that give tangible form to sound, and unconventional technology art that utilizes spaces. Taking “here & there,” “separation & conjunction,” “revolution & gravity” and “silent & listen” as his key words, Fujimoto turns his attention to mundane everyday things, expressing the mystery of “sound” as an entity via the experience of listening, in a practice that opens up new kinds of understanding. Exhibitor at the 49th and 52nd Venice Biennales in 2001 and 2007.
