Artist in Japan delves into the interpretation of duration and location - Time and Space Manifestations in Art: A Japanese Creator's Perspective
Japanese Artist Explores Time and Space Perception in Berlin
Takehito Koganezawa, a renowned artist from Tokyo, known for his work in various mediums, is presenting his drawings, sculptures, and videos in a new temporary exhibition at the Berlin Humboldt Forum. The show, titled "One into Two, Two out of One," explores the perception of time and space, aiming to make the flow of time tangible. Koganezawa resided in Berlin from 1999 to 2016 and returns to his former artistic home for this exhibition, as stated in a release from the Stiftung Humboldt Forum.
The Humboldt Forum is not the only venue hosting an exhibition this weekend. "Restoration in Dialogue" offers a unique insight into the world of conservation and restoration. Several exhibit pieces illustrate the decision-making process regarding the preservation of objects. One such piece is a Buddhist shrine from Inner Mongolia that arrived in Berlin in 1932.
In another exhibition, watercolors by Brazilian artist Feliciano Lana document the history of contact between indigenous people and whites in the upper Rio Negro region of the Amazon. Lana's works, offering personal perspectives on colonialism and capitalism, will be displayed in "Feliciano Lana. The Story of the Whites." The series was created shortly before Lana's death in 2020.
Takehito Koganezawa's exhibitions in Berlin provide an opportunity to delve into themes of abstract concepts, particularly time and space perception, through his creative expressions. A series of exhibitions at the Loock Galerie, Ethnologisches Museum, and Temporary Exhibition Space 50, Room 304, will showcase Koganezawa's conceptual and experimental works.
Visitors may find that community policies, such as those regarding cultural events and exhibition spaces, support their immersion in the lifestyle of the Berlin arts scene while exploring the works of artists like Takehito Koganezawa. As one travels through this vibrant cultural hub, they might also discover employment policies tailored toward the creative industries, fostering a fertile environment for both local and international artists.
