This exhibition introduces the work of MIKADO2, an artist collective comprising Yamada Shuhei, Koike Kazuma, and Jinba Keisuke.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From paintings filled only with the words \u201cHa Ha Ha\u201d to neon signage that says \u201cbright future,\u201d Yamada\u2019s detached and Dadaist work is both conceptual and humorous. Koike\u2019s work examines cult images through the lens of cultural anthropology, creating paintings with a strong narrative and ceramics that function as unique totems. Jinba explores a painterly practice that retraces highly personal experiences and art history. This collaboration between three very different artists results in a contemporary and hybrid form of expression with a distinctive groove.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
MIKADO2\u2019s idiosyncratic practice creates absences and misalignments in artistic formats, accompanied by actions and attitudes that initially resemble meaningless play.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the words of the collective: \u201cOur practice is like a stone used to strain water that sinks to the bottom of a river.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Triangle<\/strong><\/big>
\nThe Triangle is a space newly created for the reopening of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. It aims to nurture 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 expressions from Kyoto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25865,"parent":0,"template":"","exhibition_cat":[],"class_list":["post-24124","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","en-US"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/24124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/24124\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26660,"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/24124\/revisions\/26660"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyotocity-kyocera.museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_cat?post=24124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
