Takejiro Hasegawa Naoko Kato
About the container-In the case of Takejiro Hasegawa and Naoko Kato
2012.12.7-12.23
"Utsuwa" as a container for holding food on a daily basis
"Utsuwa" as a skill to measure and know the inside and talent of the person.
To this simple word
Since ancient times, people have repeated many meanings, placed them close to them, and used them well.
Therefore, this theme has been postponed for a long time, though I have been interested in it for a long time.
I'm looking forward to this time at the end of the year, and I'd like you to take on the challenge.
The first is Takejiro Hasegawa, a forging artist, and Naoko Kato, a cast glass artist.
Each "container" reflected by two artists.
Is freedom like this wonderful for its soft sensibility?
They are two people who are impressed and discover.
What do we feel in the timeless view of the universe?
There are completely different shapes on the same stage, but there are some similar shapes even though there is no meeting ...
It was a fun exhibition with unique glass and metal materials.
This year's Dongzhi is December 21, 2012.
Please enjoy yourself relaxedly.
