CADAN：Gendai Bijutsu 2023

“CADAN: Gendai Bijutsu 2023” is an exhibition focusing on artists and presenting their works in a solo exhibition format, with 26 participants from member galleries of CADAN: Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon. It opens a platform for professionals such as artists, curators and gallerists to interact with collectors, art lovers and those interested in contemporary art.

The Contemporary Art Dealers Association was established in 2015 for the purpose of the promotion and developing contemporary art within Japan. Presently, the Association is comprised of 50 Japanese galleries and this event “CADAN Gendai Bijutsu 2023” is the 2nd edition; the 1st edition having been organized in 2020. This event differs from an art fair; the idea is based on an exhibition concept and returning to an original idea of seeing contemporary art purely, with each participating gallery exhibiting selected works in a highly considered context.

Special Presentation “Art in Good Company” will be held on the ship-shaped event space, T-LOTUS M, in collaboration between CADAN and partner companies that regularly work with CADAN. During the event, we are also organizing a series of talk events considering the topic “Art and Corporation”. We intend to introduce various efforts that companies are making in support of contemporary art. We are aiming to provide a place to think about Japanese contemporary art now and of the future.

CADAN YURAKUCHO will present a solo exhibition of Ibuki Minami “Art-Core-Oneness” , organized by rin art association based in Takasaki, Gunma.

Ibuki Minami is a Japanese painter, who has been highly acclaimed since his debut exhibition in 2020.

Minami’s painting begins with the drawing of graphs depicting how information flows diverge and relate to each other. It functions as a set of instructios for paintings to be drawn on top.

An unlimited range of colors and shades applied on Minami’s tableau is further accentuated by his impasto brushstrokes and rhythmic compositions. The simple geometric patterns of textured color—some rectangular, circular, or dots in various arrangements—overlaid by one another or connected with directional lines. The painting can thus be interpreted as the architecture of a networked world, where the conceptual dimension of Minami’s practice emerges.

To describe his art-making, Minami uses the word ‘art core’, often referencing concepts from Eastern philosophy such as “ying yang”. Just as DNA contains the genetic information necessary for organisms, the art core preserves all possible source codes, which unfolds materially, conceptually or spiritually through Minami’s act of painting. The artist identifies no border between science, art and philosophy, considering that all are inseparable from one another and indispensable to human life—a realm of the unknown harnessed by the word, “art core”.

Ibuki Minami, born in 1995, holds a BMA in Fine Art, Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Minami lives and works in Tokyo, Japan, since 2020.

Abstraction !

MISAKO & ROSEN have organized the exhibition “Abstraction!” for CADAN Yurakucho.
Free from working according to any ideological framework, the best of contemporary painting exists as a record of the particular experiments of the particular artist who created the work. Without trying to be expressive or non-expressive, representational or otherwise, the paintings exist literally as paintings. The literal quality of the paintings is at once simple, with the works consisting of the materials out of which they were created and complex, in so far as what a painting means differs from artist to artist, viewer to viewer. In the case of contemporary painting, the story and relationship between paintings in the artist’s oeuvre is of equal importance as any relationship to “art” history. However abstract, each work in “Abstraction!” is also imbued with its own narrative, a story inevitably shaped by the knowledge and experience of its viewer. A common quality of each works is that it invites a type of looking that offers a form of pleasure.

Mariko Kobayashi “You Only Need to Bear the Sun” by KOTARO NUKAGA

※Closed on Mon* and November 15

■Artist Talk supported by CVJ
・Date: Friday, November 13, 2020
・Time: 18:30- 19:00
・Venue: CADAN YURAKUCHO
・Admission Free
※Reservation required, required (limited to 15 visitors)
*Please visit Peatix to make a reservation. Reservation available in order of application
*We ask all the visitors to stand and keep a safe distance. Walk-in is welcome depending on space availability.

CADAN Yurakucho has finished its series of group exhibition, and from November, member galleries will take turns to hold exhibitions one by one.  The first show is Mariko Kobayashi’s solo exhibition “ You Only Need to Bear the Sun” organized by KOTARO NUKAGA based in Tennozu, Tokyo.  In addition to the large scale work “Heat and Water” (3 m x 5 m), they will present 23 new works including 8 sculptural works. 

Utilizing a method of combining different materials using textile techniques such as weaving, dyeing, knitting, and stitching, Mariko Kobayashi renders different connections that exist in the world. “Circulation of life” is the central theme that runs throughout her artistic practice.

In her work “Heat and Water”, Kobayashi employs a mountain motif to represent the ecosystem. The sun, rain, earth, and water are familiar yet essential “heat and water” elements that circulate the repeating life cycle of plants and animals. Becoming aware of the cycle leads to the realization that we are connected to nature, and the very cycle and circulation also flow within us. We also learn that despite being a part of nature, humans have been exploiting it for our own wealth.  The donkey motif from “You Only Need to Bear the Sun”, which is also the title of this exhibition, reminds viewers of its harsh life as a bearer of heavy loads for the benefit of humans.  Why are we making donkeys to carry burdens that we cannot carry ourselves?  How far are we going to coerce them into carrying the burdens?  The work engages viewers to reflect on how we live and what is truly important that we should value. While living in a great realm of nature where heat, water, and air circulate, humans are not aware of it, only caught up in their loads in front of them. On the back of the burden-free donkey shines the sun, symbolizing universal connections in nature and the essential core values in life.  Kobayashi expresses the cycle of life and the multi-layered relationship between nature and humans not only through the works’ vivid color and materiality, but also by selecting and treating each material with care. Weaving together different elements by hand resembles the slow and gradual process of restoring the disconnected relationship. Please enjoy the fascinating charm that the works possess and the artist’s message through her handwork.

What forms and shapes can artists use to capture things and convert them into works? “Format” and “Shape” are words that have a kind of sliding meaning and cause cracks in the ground. I would like to make it an exhibition that you can trace the artist’s thoughts that ooze through the cracks.　– Satoko Oe（Satoko Oe Contemporary）

CADAN : GENDAIBIJUTSU

CADAN: Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon is pleased announce the first edition of“CADAN: GENDAI BIJUTSU”at Warehouse TERRADA B&C HALL (Tennozu).
The Contemporary Art Dealers association was established in 2015 for the purpose of the promotion and developing contem- porary art in Japan. Presently, the Association is comprised of 38 Japanese galleries and this event “CADAN: GENDAI BIJUTSU” is the debut public exhibition with 30 gallery members.

This is a group exhibition. During the event, we are organizing a series of talk events themed around artist, curator, collection; art support systems and infrastructure – we are aiming to provide a place to think about Japanese contemporary art now and of the future.
