Matsunobe Soshi: Walls

Matsunobe Soshi is an artist who engages with intangible phenomena such as lines, shadows, the unconscious, and the ground (background) through installations, sculptures, drawings and various other media. Using everyday motifs such as wallpaper, rubber bands, and graffiti as materials, he has presented works that focus on the processes by which these materials are made, as well as their functions and relationships. His practice calls into question the act of creation itself, prompting us to reconsider the premises of making, seeing, and being. Alongside introducing Matsunobe’s consistent approach, this exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to newly reflect on their own ways of perceiving and interpreting the world.

The Triangle
The Triangle is a space newly created for the reopening of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. It aims to nurture and support emerging artists, especially those associated with Kyoto, and to provide opportunities for museum visitors to experience contemporary art. In order to connect the artist, museum, and viewer in a triangle and deepen those connections, the space hosts an eponymous series of special exhibitions and presents new artistic expression from Kyoto.

This initiative is supported by contributiuions through the “Charity Auction & Gala Dinner for Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.”
