Solo Exhibition

Cerith Wyn Evans Sogetsu Kaikan

Positioned as the second chapter of the artist’s solo exhibition held at the same venue in 2018, this exhibition features pillars of light extending from the floor to the ceiling, a transparent sculpture composed of automated crystal glass flutes, and a large-scale neon work based on an excerpt of the Japanese translation of Marcel Proust's novel, In Search of Lost Time.

In this exhibition, Evans places pillars of light and a series of pine trees within Isamu Noguchi’s stone garden “Heaven.” The pillars of light slowly blink repeatedly, generating a certain tempo that emphasizes the timbre (tone quality) of the garden, while the pine trees positioned throughout the stone garden in a manner emulating a Noh stage, evoke the “texture” of time through their organic presence. The stone garden is no longer a mere venue for exhibiting works but is transformed into a stage of sorts through Evans’ creations that function as a mise en scene.
