    The money trees, oil on linen and canvas, were made in quick succession in 2021. They come from the imagination. There is no particular reference from a living tree. They exist as retribution, as private stories and as a sign for manifesting money.
    The recent painting Burnt image was a beginning and led into the ongoing series of drawing landscapes from direct observation at public parks in Los Angeles and the surrounding area.

    2013 Completed Graduate School of Tokai University, Department of Plastic Arts
    1988 Born in Shizuoka

    Aoki’s sculptures, with their simple forms, capture the small desires and circumstances that are not worth talking about, the gestures and habits that are unique to each individual, the shapes that seem to have accompanied them over long distances while moving, the situations in which they flow and disappear (which means they were certainly around there earlier), and invisible movements such as speed and gravity. The work is captured in volume, creating and visualizing space with a scale and extreme thinness that does not seem trivial motives.

    Most of his works are made of wood, but especially after working in Mexico City, he has been treating space, three-dimensionality, and even the fact that people come and go and engage in them as equally important materials, creating an neutral time.

    Tatsumi Orimoto : Ghost of Art-Mama（AOYAMA MEGURO）

     11 Sep – 10 Oct 2021

     

    Opening Hours

    We are glad to inform you Tatsumi Orimoto (b.1946) will hold his 6th Solo exhibition in our Space and the first public exhibition of his new work in Tokyo. Orimoto is an artist based in Kawasaki, Japan, and has been developing international activities.

    From the 1990’s to 2017, Orimoto has created an impressive number of works collaborating with his mother Odai. Many of these works have been created from the situation of spending time together, while Orimoto was caring for her Alzheimer’s condition. 

    In October 2019, he exhibited one of his masterpieces “Beethoven Mama / 2012”, at the London East Asia Film Festival 2019, in which Orimoto made his mother’s hair Turn Upside down while she played.

    Not only does Orimoto go to the city where his exhibitions are held each time, but he also makes new works on the streets with the materials available to the artist on site. At the time he was in London (2019), Orimoto made a film in collaboration with film director David B, in which he wore a mask of his mother who had Passed away, and walked on the streets of London. The documentation of that performance will be exhibited in this current exhibition at Aoyama | Meguro titled, “Ghost of Art Mama”.

    This time, the images and video of that work will be exhibited in the Aoyama | Meguro gallery window alongside the street in Tokyo. Needless to say, it is possible that the gallery exhibition may be closed or postponed due to the current situation. However, the window along the road is accessible to viewers and a suitable environment to exhibit the video of his walk in London, which occurred just a few years ago.

    Alongside the Video works, Orimoto will exhibit around 60 postcards in the space as related work, which he wrote and posted to his mother during the same stay.

    During this period, he will also participate in the ‘Steirischer Herbst ’21’ Graz : 50th international academic contemporary art festival in Austria. https://www.facebook.com/steirischerherbst/

    We wish you are all safe and well. Thank You.

    Music and Art:
    Activation Landscape

    Assembridge NAGOYA is a festival set in the Nagoya Port area (Minatomachi), showcasing music and contemporary art since 2016.
    The term encompasses our aim for music and art to bridge people and the town, create connections and eventually nurture a new culture. The stage is not concert halls or museums but the town itself. Music and art blend into the everyday life of the Nagoya Port area, and the creative spaces transform the surrounding landscape.
    Based on the current situation that the opportunity to come into contact with culture and art is limited due to the new coronavirus infectious disease, this time, for our fifth edition, we will actively engage with online platforms and streamings to deliver the diversified music and contemporary art programs in this Nagoya Port area, with an aim of conveying an enriched time to many people.

    The London East Asia Film Festival was established in 2015 as a non-profit arts organisation to champion the growing collaboration and diversity in East Asian filmmaking.

    After an incredibly successful pre-festival in 2015, LEAFF’s 1st edition officially launched in 2016 on 20th October at ODEON Leicester Square with THE AGE OF SHADOWS (dir. Kim Jee-woon). 40 films were screened over 11 days at venues across central London, and ended with Closing Gala film, THREE (dir. Johnnie To).

    LEAFF aims to champion the growing collaboration in East Asian filmmaking with a philosophy that marks a shift in the cinematic landscape of East Asia, and moves away from cultural and cinematic borders. Our vision is to bring a much wider, eclectic, and diverse programme of films from over 13 countries to show the richness and diversity of the region and its people. We want to draw people in with the familiar, and offer opportunities to see something new.

    Tatsumi Orimoto has created a unique relationship to performance, film and photography by inviting an audience to become essential participants in the production of artworks. His recent work with his mother has captured the imagination and provided insights into how an artist can transform universal themes such as ageing and family into artworks of intimacy and beauty. Orimoto worked with artists such as Nam June Paik and Joseph Beuys and continues across decades to participate in museums and biennials throughout the world.

    We are pleased to announce that we will hold the 5th solo exhibition of the artist Tatsumi Orimoto (born 1946) who has been based in his birthplace Kawasaki City, and has been actively working internationally.

    The last year’s solo exhibition “Past & Now” at Onomichi City Museum of Art was an attempt to showcase the entirety of the artist’s activities up to the present by classifying them into six categories.

    Orimoto is known for his representative works such as “Bread Man” in which he wrapped loaves of bread around his head, “Art Mama,” a collaborative work with his mother Odai, and “Grandmother’s Lunch” project in which he invited a lot of elderly people to have a lunch together; however, in this exhibition, two series of old and new mail art projects that have not been shown comprehensively, will be exhibited.

    The first is a mail art series in which he created a drawing with a message on a postcard that he got while traveling and sent it to people close to him. His innocent drawing and intimate message on his journey stages a meeting event with its receiver. On this occasion, recent postcard drawings that were sent to his late mother from Berlin and London will be exhibited.

    Another series is the postcards as documents of his many artistic performances and actions. After these temporary activities, Orimoto has produced printed materials such as posters and leaflets for the record, and delivered them by himself to his acquaintances. In particular, during the 1980s, the early period of his career when printing costs were expensive, Orimoto produced postcards to document his activities. These small-sized postcards contain the information and related figures that can tell us much about his past artistic activities. In this exhibition, the entire collection of these postcards (approx. 180 works) will be exhibited through catalogues which contain their real-size images and actual pieces.

    A notable characteristic of Tatsumi Orimoto’s art is that he employs and maximally utilizes the long-established, simple and familiar communication system that has been shared by many people in the world as material of his expression: postcard, a small support medium; a mailbox, a small architecture in a public space; and a mail delivery system running across the planet.

    Please do not miss this opportunity to see this unknown series which will be exhibited for the first time.
