Osaka Directory 7 Supported by RICHARD MILLE

KOMATSU Kazumichi

2024-11-16 – 2024-12-15

Summary

Taking inspiration from the Textiles Pavilion at the Osaka Expo in 1970, for this exhibition Komatsu Kazumichi attempts to capture the gathering and dispersal of people, complete with sound, dubbing it a "soft rave." The 1970 Osaka Expo is said to have been one of the things that led to the spread of sound systems and live outdoor events, and avant-garde the Textiles Pavilion was an avant-garde exhibition that made use of sound and film footage. However visitors at the time are said to have enjoyed the pavilion as they pleased, with no regard given to the innovative visions of the creators. Komatsu creates a space for viewers while taking into consideration the cultural history of Osaka that includes this kind of personal freedom, as well as the geography of the hilly Senri area and the Yodo River water system.

About Osaka Directory Supported by RICHARD MILLE

Organized jointly by Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka and The Kansai Osaka 21st Century Association, the Osaka Directory series of exhibitions introduces upcoming Kansai-connected artists in a solo exhibition format. Starting from the current year, the annual series will present artists who create new art symbolizing the coming age of the future. The term "directory" is used in IT (Information Technology) to refer to folders and similar structures that are used to organize files. Through this series, Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka stores ‘files’ on promising young artists in the Kansai area in a ‘directory’ from which it can present their work to a wide audience throughout the world and support the launch of their careers on the global scene.
