Ephemeral Graffiti. The exhibition reflects the impression made on the artist by his staying on the island and he will present videos, sculptures and a drawing.
Qbox gallery is pleased to announce Takehito Koganezawa’s first solo exhibition in Greece. Takehito Koganezawa (born Tokyo 1974) spent one month on the island of Kea as a resident artist. The Qbox residency programme was inaugurated last summer and is tailored to young as well as to mid-career artists.
The exhibition titled “Ephemeral Graffiti” reflects the impression made on the artist by his staying on the island and he will present videos, sculptures and a drawing. The title refers to the different layers that comprise the material world as well as their transient nature and the volatile relationship between them. This last work is not a continuation of a previous one, as his disposition pushes him to continuously work with new means. Koganezawa looks for inspiration in the location itself and lets himself be part of the landscape, recording his memory while composing his new exhibition.
The drawing (“untitled”) is the starting point and constant reference for the artist. It is part of his subconscious thought which helps him turn his work three-dimensional. A red animal sits on top of a tree’s branches and worryingly observes its surroundings.
Opening: Tuesday 23/09/08 7:00 p.m.
