AOYAMA|MEGURO

1.17 – 2.14.2015

 

January 17 – February 14, 2015
Open from 12 to 19 pm (closed on Sundays and national holidays)
Reception for the artist: Saturday, January 17, 2015 (19 to 21pm)

 

In her new show at Aoyama⎮Meguro, Lotte Lyon will be showing a group of new sculptures and a
new series of drawings.
Over the last couple of years, Lotte Lyon has often realized in site works. She did a series of
pieces on the walls of exhibition spaces. Even if they were painted, she prefers to see those works
as wall drawings. They relate directly to the sizes of the walls and, like her previous work, ask
questions about size, relation, and the use of spaces.
Recently, she has started to build objects again, and at Aoyama⎮Meguro, she will be showing
seven of them. They are made of plywood and partially painted, and, compared to earlier works,
are rather small – about 50 cm in height.
This small size gives them a quite different feeling as opposed to the earlier, larger works – they are
almost like pieces of furniture. The fact that they are being shown as a group leads to an
impression of a flock or a herd, Lotte Lyon likes to see them as a group of small beings.
Some of them have patterns, referring to the wall patterns she did before, others have hinges, so
they might be changed or used in varying ways. Lotte Lyon is still pursuing ideas of variation and
imbalance with these objects.
As for the drawings, they are made from pencil and colored pencil on paper. This new series has a
larger format than the previous drawings, and there is not any longer only one object depicted on
each sheet, but two or three. This new approach allows her to show more than before what
interests her in her sculptural work – explorations about transformation and change.

SUNDAY: http://sunday-cafe.jp/
open: 11.30 am to 22 pm (closed on Wednesday)

Address: 2-7-12 Ikejiri, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 154-0001

 

The exhibition “clk” at Capsule combines the works of the three artists Christian Hutzinger, Lotte Lyon and Kazuna Taguchi. Christian Hutzinger and Lotte Lyon, who live in Vienna, have been spending a considerable amount of time in Tokyo over the last couple of years, while Kazuna Taguchi, a formerly Tokyo based artist, is currently living in Vienna.
In this exhibition, their work is shown together for the first time, linked through a concept of painted walls in three different colors. Each artist ́s work gets assigned to one color. The size of the color fields relates directly to the measurements of the walls, but through a shift in space, a change in the perception of the gallery occurs.
All three artists have in common that they use varying artistic techniques. At capsule, Kazuna Taguchi is showing new photographic works that have their origin in painting. Lotte Lyon ́s new black&white photos deal with questions of size and relation, and use paper and drawing as a starting point. For his new colorful series of collages, Christian Hutzinger doesn ́t only use materials from his own archive, but also bits and pieces of the works of Lotte Lyon and Kazuna Taguchi.
In addition, a three dimensional object that combines the works of all three artists defines the exhibition space further.

Lotte Lyon : Drift

 11.24 – 12.22.2014

 

AOYAMA | MEGURO is pleased to announce our fourth solo exhibition with Vienna-based artist Lotte Lyon, who is in residence at Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Aomori Public College, until December. This show, the gallery’s last project this year, will be held in conjunction with another exhibition by the artist at NADiff Window Gallery (which starts on the 27th), featuring Lyon’s latest publication that is a six-fold poster-shaped monograph documenting all her artistic activities in Tokyo since 2006, as well as a series of twofold book-shaped sculptures that function as “limited edition” covers for the poster. All her works exhibited in Tokyo to date have revolved around sculptural works using plywood panels and paints available at home centers. For the present exhibition, focusing on the fact that the gallery’s walls themselves are in fact composed of plywood panels of standard sizes, the artist will create murals directly on them. She will create grid patterns on two of the walls whose sizes, materials, and ratios are different. The patterns will also extend into another wall in the room behind. The exhibition’s title „Drift“ derives from the shifting and wandering of the intersected

patterns. The artist sees this work as a “drawing” rather than “painting,” where importance is put to lines and planes. At the same time, it can be also said that the whole space is a sculpture into which the viewer will be walking once opening the gallery’s door. Reinforcing this concept, three series of photographic works will be shown along, and the grid patterns on the walls are also printed on one side of the poster to be shown at NADiff. As the poster is folded and three-dimensional, or unfolded and flat, the patterns change accordingly. Both of the exhibitions (Ebisu / Nakameguro) aim at transforming the way to view sculptures, from a conventional visual act to an overall experience of stepping into and wandering through space, holding the work, imagining other possibilities, reading the text, and coming and going between different places. Please visit both of the exhibitions to see the artist’s recent development.

About exhibition

 

Exhibition View

AOYAMA | MEGURO is pleased to announce Lotte Lyon’s solo exhibition titled “1:2″ as our first show in the new year. Born 1970 in Graz, Austria Lyon presently lives and works in Vienna. Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions in Europe and other places, including group show “Minus Space” at PS1, New York, in 2008.

Made with ordinary wood panels and paints available at do-it-yourself stores, each of her past sculptures has an intermediate size – not too big, not too small – resembling some kind of furniture such as a dining table, sofa, or bookshelf. Due to their non-functionality and vivid color patterns composed in a fresh manner that echoes minimalism, the sculptures have a certain richness and charm while having quite simple appearances.

The work “1:2″, from which the title of this exhibition comes, is based on the first space of our gallery (the one before the last space), a renovated small room of an old apartment building. When Lyon first made a visit to prepare her Japan-debut exhibition in 2006, she got deeply impressed by the space’s compactness and efficiency. In this new sculptural work, the space is reproduced by reducing two times from its original size, with the same Burberry check-like colored patten on its sides as a sculpture exhibited in the debut show. This work, which Lyon has planned for a long time since her initial visit, is an attempt to recreate the space without its function as a gallery.

Not only this sculpture, but also the other pieces in this exhibition, two series of photographs, deal with the issues of scaling and variation of size. In one series, Lyon set up ordinary items that she had purchased in Tokyo and photographed them. As a result, the photographed objects present new views of their own, appearing as sculptural volumes without revealing to the viewer what they really are, since they have lost their original colors and wholeness. The other series is about an office chair Lyon found in her studio in Tokyo, which had lost one of its casters. The artist decided to employ it as an ideal object for her new work, following her artistic experiments in recent years to take various things out of their usual contexts by disabling their functions.

The whole installation will consist of the sculpture, of 11 photographs from the two series, and drawings. All these new works emerged from the artist’s participation in the Austrian government’s residency program in Tokyo from August 2009 to January 2010.

This exhibition is also the first show after the gallery’s (minor) renovation.
