  Exhibition

  
  

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

  
  

  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: Eiko & Koma, Yuriko Ando Lochan / Dumb
     Type (1984-87), Michiko Tsuda, Poonam Jain, Amol Patil, Shinobu Mikami|
     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.
