A
SHRIEK FROM AN INVISIBLE BOX REVISITED II
is the second of a three-part show at Medialia. Originally a gathering
of work by 100 international artists, A SHRIEK FROM AN INVISIBLE
BOX exhibited at the Meguro Museum, Tokyo, Japan, in 2001. The
exhibition was curated by the independent curator, Mashiko
Nakashima. In the effort to bring this exhibition to the United
States, the orginal show has been divided into installments, because
of spacial limitations.
The specifications for the work were originally, and are now:
• Each artist will have a single horizontal or vertical space
(no suspensions from the ceiling) 8"(H) x 14" x 14"
• Within this space each artist will place a minimum of 3 three-dimensional
works
• Each of the works can be either independent or related to the
other works
• Each work cannot be larger than 8"(H) x 7" x 7"
The intention of this exhibition is to present how an artist interprets
a limited space with a minimum of three works, and with a given
size for each work. The reason for a minimum of three pieces is
to further enhance the power of the artists visual statement. The
interrelationship of the three works is left to the artist. This
exhibition is a unique three-dimensional exhibition, not a small
maquette display. However, having a theme title for the exhibition
unifies to an extent the overall expression of the exhibit.
The following is taken from the text of the original exhibition
catalogue, A SHRIEK FROM AN INVISIBLE BOX, 2001, Meguro Museum of
Art, which was written by Mashiko Nakashima. I am most grateful
to Mr. Shigeki Fukunaga for having given me the opportunity to curate
an exhibition at the Meguro Museum of Art, Tokyo. The most profoundly
sad occurrence was Mr. Fukunaga suddenly passing away on August
5, while he was attending the special exhibition, Contemporary Japanese
Prints, at the Guanajuato State Museum in Guanajuato, Mexico...
Mr.
Fukunaga had written in the 2001 Shriek exhibition invitation
to the participating artists:
...
This exhibition is curated by our guest curator, Mashiko Nakashima.
The exhibition was realized because of her precise and continuous
world-wide search for artists for the last several years.
I, as the director of the Meguro Museum of Art, Tokyo, am
truly looking forward to seeing your actual work and concept
for this particular exhibition.
Because
of the limited size and space available to each artist, the
Meguro Museum is able to exhibit nearly 100 works. The small
scale work here is not a maquette for large scale art, but,
it is a finished entity. Because of the limited scale, proficient
technical skill will be evident in the exhibition ... |
