Enokura Koji: A Retrospective
Date
-Location
Gallery 4 (2nd floor)
About
The late 1960s and 1970s were a period of drastic transformation for Japanese postwar art. Young artists began to move away from conventional formats such as painting and sculpture, and turned to a fundamental questioning of human perception and the conditions of existence. Enokura Koji, a major figure in this shift, is often associated with the movement known as Mono-ha (the “School of Things”).
Over the course of his career, Enokura produced a diverse body of work including installations, photography, prints, and paintings. His explorations of physical phenomena such as permeation and contact evoke bodily awareness, directing attention to our own physical existence in the world. He exhibited in major international shows such as the Paris Biennale and the Venice Biennale, remaining a prominent presence in contemporary art, and later taught at Tokyo University of the Arts, where he had a significant impact on younger generations of artists. This exhibition traces the development and scope of his practice through his own works as well as newly acquired works by Shirai Mio and Toyoshima Yasuko, both of whom were his students.
