  1. Bodily Tactics (Artist: Kazuko Miyamoto | Curator : Luca Cerriza)

  
  

   

  
  

  Through a selection of artworks and documents belonging to different phases

  
  

  of her career, the exhibition aims to analyse the crucial role played by the

  
  

  female body in the practice of Kazuko Miyamoto (Tokyo, 1942, lives in New

  
  

  York) From the early minimalist-oriented works of late 60s and 70s to the

  
  

  photographic works of the 80s and 90s; from the sculptures and installations

  
  

  to the various performative activities, in Miyamoto's work the female and

  
  

  erotic body recurs as a form of resistance and opposition, as a critical

  
  

  tool to scrutinize social and aesthetic conventions. It is an attitude

  
  

  already clear in her early phase when, as assistant of Sol lewitt, she

  
  

  forced the boundaries of minimal orthodoxy.

  
  

   

  
  

  1. Kyoto Casual (Artists: Fiko and Koma, Dumb Type, Michiko Tsuda, Poonam

  
  

  Jain, Amol Patil and others | Curator : Zasha Colah, Clark House Initiative)

  
  

   

  
  

  The layering of red-orange-black volcanic rock in Kyoto is a metaphor for a

  
  

  culture - known in Kyoto as 'Kyoto Casual'. It is a lightness of cultural

  
  

  production that puts side-by-side classic forms with radical contemporary

  
  

  art, avant-garde with artisanal, international national and local within a

  
  

  single narrative of one spurring and driving into being the other. This

  
  

  exhibition considers the strategies of choreography and body movement as a

  
  

  medium used by artists crossing generations, genres and national identities,

  
  

  with an ease of vocabularies that gain in meaning, through the simultaneous

  
  

  contexts and histories they push to the surface.
