Thus this is an object, comprised of layer upon layer of seemingly disparate material, bound together both physically and by an order generated through chaos, that gives us the opportunity to objectively see something who's contours appear to be in a constant state of flux, and which changes along side the change in perspective from one person to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssays by Ikuhisa Sawada (Photographer) and Shuta Hasunuma (Musician) provide perspectives from those who have no direct relationship with Takada, but who’s own practices are inextricably interlinked with the idea of “axis”.

This book, the first of four for this project, documents the act of “communication through artwork” through a series of images and sketches generated in the lead up to their first exhibition in Tokyo, as they allowed their work to change and adapt as it entered into the gravitational influence of the “other”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing paper which incorporates a textural difference on either side, the book in its original state is a completely flat unbound object, the work of the two artists being separated by virtue of never appearing on a single surface, but rather on opposing sides. Through the simple act of folding this object in half, a series of relationships appear like a weaving intervention piercing the artists lines and causing them to intertwine, though maintaining their independence by way of their continued textural and structural distinction as the book remains unbound. Going further, by turning this now folded object inside out, the chronology and relationships are reversed, allowing the symmetrical nature of the project to become graspable, and when reaching the conclusion of one path actualized in the book you are led to the beginning of the other, a loop like continuation exposing similarity, difference, and the growing influence on each other through proximity leading to organic change and inventive adaptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOTHERS : The project comprises of three regional exhibitions and an art book that recreates the entire project in book form. The exhibitions will be held in Tokyo (The White) in June of 2023, in Antwerp (FRED\u0026amp;FERRY) in September of the same year, and in Beijing in 2024 (dates and venues to be decided). The theme of the exhibition is communication through artwork and the resulting expansion of said artwork. For each exhibition, the artist will first send a piece of work to the other artist based in the respective city, who then interprets it and proposes a venue configuration. The plan is then shared among all participants. The exhibition space is constructed interactively, incorporating each artist's response, including adding new works and updates to the installation. By actively incorporating unexpected elements that arise between the artists and others, elements such as misunderstandings and discrepancies brought about by their interpretations, we hope that others will intrude into the work and that this will ultimately trigger an organic metamorphosis of the work that transcends the artist's original intentions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIkuhisa Sawada (1970-), based in Tokyo. Photographer and the director of the alternative space \"The White\" from 2014 to the present. He participated in the Osamu Kanemura workshop. Sawada uses the recording and mechanical properties of the camera to discover new ways of looking at things unrecognized by everyday vision. He has been working continuously on the \"closed circuit\" project since 2011. He makes large prints of photographs taken in public places (train stations) familiar to many people. He displays them in a layered manner in the exhibition space. As viewers walk among the photographs, the images interfere with each other.

Marc Nagtzaam has been producing a body of work that is based on one main subject: the idea of pattern, the repetition. He draws lines, grids, circles, words or sentences as in an endless search for new combinations and structures. The repetition and the graphic structure of his works seems reminiscent of minimal and conceptual aesthetics. Most of Marc Nagtzaam's drawings consist of darkly filled in graphite surfaces. Abstracted elements from architecture, graphic design, details from found photographs, or parts from previous drawings are starting points for every series of works. This source material is being reduced, with basic, elementary means: dots, lines and flat surfaces, to construct a sort of structure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 130\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 220 × 290 mm\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2023\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: ori.studio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ori.studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40718340849749,"sku":"OSOS1062","price":4275.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/files\/1_83f13141-6687-4a5b-8cdf-6ffa8474955a.jpg?v=1699254445"},{"product_id":"golden-times","title":"Feng Li: Golden Times","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter finishing an intense filming job in Tokyo, I returned to Chengdu.

Over a century ago, city folk and ordinary farmers must have stopped whatever they were doing to admire the mysterious vehicle which moved seemingly without human effort. Some said it was driven by ‘evil spirits’. But then, they had said the same about the invention of the camera and its magic mirror years before. Others, with a slightly better sense of humour, called it a ‘foreign house walking’, or even wittier, a ‘fart cart’, for the black smoke that invariably dissolved into the air behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a common mistake however to believe that by the early 1900s, the Chinese population was hostile towards foreign products or modernity. Generally speaking, they enthusiastically embraced new trends that were then pragmatically woven into the fabric of everyday life. Luxury imports were used by elites as visual evidence of social status, while cheap imitations satisfied the demand for new products among ordinary people: both were absorbed into a culture that without the tangible and craved the new.

Inside the photo studio, efforts were made to recreate a modern atmosphere with painted landscape backgrounds and foregrounds of the latest machinery in fashion. From the first motorcycles in the 1940s, to tanks in the 1950s, planes in the 1960s and televisions in the 1980s, the eagerness for new technology has proven to be a continuous cultural habit that can still be felt today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album consists of 35 photographs I collected at antique markets and via websites in China over the past decade.

In this case Taca Sui was inspired by the late Qing dynasty imperial bureaucrat Huang Yi (1744 – 1802) who in his leisure time was also a dedicated amateur archaeologist, painter, poet and calligrapher. In the last years of the 18th century he made two trips in which the focus was on documenting steles mainly located in Shandong Province and Henan Province. Through his travel diaries, paintings, and rubbings, he provided an invaluable record of cultural artifacts that otherwise might have disappeared altogether through neglect. In planning his own trips, Taca consulted Huang Yi’s diaries, Diary on Visiting Steles near Mount Song and the Luo River and Diary on Visiting Historical Steles from Jining to Tai’an.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Huang Yi 200 years before him, Taca embarked on expeditions to locate traces of the past as preserved in steles but whereas Huang Yi could still identify, describe and catalogue actual examples, Taca had to be satisfied with inscriptions that are largely erased through the passage of time or exist only in fragmentary state. Recognizing the futility of his task, he nonetheless perseveres in preserving whatever he can.

These elements are sampled from the mundane, seemingly ordinary scenes and objects that surround us, elevated to a state that appears entirely contradictory to its own nature, but which simultaneously expresses it in such an honest way that said nature is not simply maintained, but celebrated.

This new object now further extends our ability to objectively see something who’s contours appear to be in a constant state of flux, combining layer upon layer of seemingly disparate material through physical means and by an order which has been generated through chaos, shifting position with the change of one perspective to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEssays by Ikuhisa Sawada (Photographer) and Shuta Hasunuma (Musician) provide perspectives from those who have no direct relationship with Takada, but who’s own practices are inextricably interlinked with the idea of “axis”.
