sukekiyo -Tsumetai Chinmoku- x MoMAK "Beyond Fiber Art"

I attended sukekiyo's concert in Kyoto on February 16th 2024 right after visiting the Museum of Modern Art of Kyoto's "Beyond Fiber Art" exhibition, and the parallels were jaw-dropping. Completely unintentional, purely coincidental, but nonetheless mindblowing.

Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within

Born in Hawaii to a Japanese émigré family, Takaezu, is a creator of worlds. From her upright cylindrical “trees” to her “moons” nestled in hammocks, her work reflects the natural universe and imagines new ones. The unseen rattles in her closed forms and the woven rugs that accompany her ceramic works add layer upon layer to her art.
