Moving Plants

Koichi Watanabe

The Third Gallery Aya is pleased to announce a solo show by Koichi Watanabe called "Moving Plants" which runs from August 31st to September 18, 2010.
This exhibition will be a counterpart to his last show about 1 year ago.In his last series, Watanabe pursued the weed called "Itadori" which originated in Japan and has spread to Poland, England and America. His last series showed the silent strength of these weeds which been changed their nature to adapt to each area and breed. This new series are color photographs to find the artist shoots weeds which originated in foreign countries but can be found in his daily life in Japan. We are surprised to find that the roots of these weeds are foreign in spite of seeing them every day. If you happened to see last year's show,we hope you will have a deeper understanding these weeds from the contrast between his last works in monochrome and these works in vivid color and foreign countries and Japan. And of course if you are seeing these works for the first time, we hope you will find a different aspect in these landscape photographs compare with ordinary ones : ie, the view here is from the plants.

On September 4, 2010, from 17:30 to 19:00, we will present a talk event by the artist. Please join us.
