The Third Gallery Aya is pleased to announce a solo show by Miyako Ishiuchi which runs from November 13 to December 18, 2010. This is her first exhibition in 5 years in the Kansai area.
"hiroshima" was first shown at Hiroshima City Contemporary Museum in 2008. The exhibition and the photo book "hiroshima" were awarded the 50th Mainichi Art Award. Following two big retrospective shows, these works were shown at Sakima Museum, which is located next the U.S. military base in the Futenma. This series shows the contrast between a complicated theme and a beauty of objects which continue to live in Hiroshima.
We would like to show new works depicting objects which Ishiuchi photographed in 2010 given by the family of the victims
This will be the smallest but most concentrated of the last exhibitions.These objects have existed for 60 years after the owners have been lost. They becoming photographs, their existence grows more vivid.
On November 14th we will hold the talk between the artist and Yoshioka Hiroshi who is a professor of Kyoto University . Please join us.
