Entitled Introspective Retrospective, the project is a survey of Takahashi's career from her days as a painting student at Tama University in Japan and follows her rise to her current status as an internationally renowned installation artist. The artist was nominated for the Turner prize in 2000 and has work in national collections such as Tate in the UK.
In the summer of 2010 the De La Warr Pavilion are presenting work by the Japanese born artist Tomoko Takahashi. Entitled Introspective Retrospective, the project is a survey of Takahashi’s career from her days as a painting student at Tama University in Japan and follows her rise to her current status as an internationally renowned installation artist. The artist was nominated for the Turner prize in 2000 and has work in national collections such as Tate in the UK. Her last major British exhibition was at the Serpentine Gallery in 2005. Introspective Retrospective will be the first time that a comprehensive selection of Takahashi’s work has been shown together anywhere in the world.
The prospect of working with such a well-regarded and interesting artist as Tomoko Takahashi is very exciting for us. We believe that the exhibition represents an important moment for Japanese culture within the UK . The exhibition will begin with an early painting that the De La Warr Pavilion is bringing in to the UK from a Japanese collection and has never been seen publicly before. It continues with loans of existing installation and sculpture from British and European collections. Takahashi is also producing a new work for Introspective Retrospective that engages with the Japanese phenomena of the Manga comic.
