Takehito Koganezawa. Eins auf Zwei, Zwei aus Eins
In the organizer's words:
Takehito Koganezawa is a draughtsman, video and installation artist and performer. His conceptual and experimental works, in which he brings the various media into dialog with each other, revolve around questions of time and space perception. They seek to make the flow of time tangible, to fathom nothingness, to deliberately bring about the absence of meaning and to open up new scope for imagination and aesthetic perception. "One on Two, Two of One" shows new acquisitions from the Museum of Asian Art, supplemented by further works by the artist and loans.
In his work Double Sisters/Divided Brothers (2022 - ), for example, abstract drawings are created where two pieces of paper overlap. A rotating video camera films this, while the focused image surfaces are in constant motion, shifting, rotating and reconnecting. Another work entitled Why We Build (2016) is an installation consisting of several sculptures made of unfired clay, which are made to rotate in the video installation of the same name. If sculpture has often been perceived as something static, perhaps monumental, here it is set in motion.
Takehito Koganezawa's works have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions as well as at biennials and triennials worldwide; they are represented in important collections of global art. At the invitation of the project "The Collaborative Museum", Koganezawa spent several weeks in residence in Berlin. In a workshop with students from the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin, new works will be created and shown alongside his works from the collection of the Museum of Asian Art and new drawings and sculptures created especially for the exhibition.
Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1974, the artist Takehito Koganezawa lives and works in Hiroshima. He lived in Berlin from 1999 to 2016.
A temporary exhibition by the Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace in collaboration with the Museum of Asian Art of the National Museums in Berlin - Prussian Cultural Heritage. The exhibition is curated by Kerstin Pinther, curator for modern and contemporary art at the Museum of Asian Art and Ethnological Museum in collaboration with the artist.
