SHIBUYA PARCO ART WEEK 2024｜ What the artist's eyes paint. 11 Days of Enjoying Art in Innocent

PERFORMING ARTS

P wave / Hara Saori

Saori Hara, who produces performance-type works using various media such as his own body, light, sound, text, and drawing under the theme of "environment and body", announced the choreographed work "P wave". The theme of this work, which has been developed while changing shape since 2021, is "vibration and acceptance". Rethinking the physical memory of one born and raised in an earthquake-powered country from a choreographing perspective, the physical and mental state of human beings in a swaying environment will be explored.

※The performance at SHIBUYA PARCO ART WEEK is a modified version of the premiere of "P wave" in May 2024 (Venue: Goethe Institute Tokyo).

GALLERY I

2G（NANZUKA）| The monster created by the fusion of ingredients and paints is a portrait of the artist's past! Solo exhibition "EFFIGY" by Tarou Abe Mitsugu

"2G（NANZUKA）" is holding a solo exhibition "EFFIGY" by Mitsutaro Abe under the curation of AKIINOUE. In recent years, Mr. Abe, who has created a "half-stereoscopic work" reminiscent of a monster using the unique texture that appears by mixing ingredients and paints, will present six new works. He says that the process of incorporating images from the imagelessness of himself sketched on a small whiteboard into his work is something that he has seen, touched, felt, and introduced them through his work. The title of this exhibition "EFFIGY" may mean such a portrait of Abe's own past.

2G（NANZUKA）| Exploring the identity of the information society with a surreal worldview. Nimyu's solo exhibition that brings visitors to Wonderland

In the second half of ART WEEK, "2G (NANZUKA)" will present Nimyu's new solo exhibition "Dance with Me" by AKIINOUE curation.

Through various forms of expression, she explores the complexity of individual identity in an advanced information society. The works that live with realistic motifs that are common in everyday life, such as humans, animals, food, etc., and surreal fantasy, will bring viewers to Wonderland and ask various questions. Please try this strange work experience that will become sick once you taste it.
