PERFORMING ARTS
P wave / Hara Saori
Under the theme of "environment and body," Saori Hara, who creates performance-type works using various media such as his own body, light, sound, text, and drawings, presents the choreography work "P wave". The theme of this work, which has been developed while changing its shape since 2021, is "vibration and acceptance." He rethinks his physical memories born and raised in an earthquake-powered country from a choreographer point of view, and explores the physical and mental state of humans in a swaying environment.

GALLERY I
2G(NANZUKA)| The monster born from the fusion of ingredients and paints is a portrait of the artist's past! ? Solo exhibition "EFFIGY" by Tarou Abe
At "2G (NANZUKA)," he is holding a solo exhibition "EFFIGY" by Mitsutaro Abe under AKIINOUE curation. In recent years, Mr. Abe, who has produced "semi-dimensional works" reminiscent of monsters using the unique texture that appears by mixing ingredients and paints, will present six new works. He says that the process of dropping the image from the image of the identities in himself sketched on a small whiteboard into his work as it is is what he has seen, touched, felt, and felt, and the feeling of introducing them through his work. The title of this exhibition "EFFIGY" may be such a portrait of Abe's own past.
