Becoming sounds. With her work positioned at the borderline between visual art and sound art, she is rapidly gaining widespread acclaim. For this exhibition, Nakajima spent 6 weeks visiting the designed gallery space to add and to transform her work over time.
like weather changing
like sugoroku game playing with throwing a dice
like invisible hyphae growing here and there appearing in forms slowly
like things without names acquiring their own names
ShugoArts Weekend Gallery is pleased to present “becoming sounds” a solo exhibition by London-based artist Rie NAKAJIMA commencing Sunday, December 20.
Since moving to England 15 years ago, Nakajima has eventually focused her energies on creating rudimentary electronic objects that move and make sounds in almost primitive ways. She then assembles the objects like one might a miniature garden, and holds performances in which she guides the objects’ movements and sounds like a conductor. With her work positioned at the borderline between visual art and sound art, she is rapidly gaining widespread acclaim.

For this exhibition, Nakajima will spend six weeks visiting our experimental Jun AOKI-designed gallery space – which has no front wall and no ceiling-mounted light fixtures – and she will gradually add to and transform her work over time.
Performances by the artist will be held on three days during the exhibition (on December 20, January 17 and January 31).
The January 17 performance will feature a guest appearance by sound artist pioneer Akio SUZUKI.
