字界へ隘路のかたち (JI -KAI -E)

Character, letter, ideogram or ideograph, logogram or logograph, grapheme, graphic symbol. Concise and rich in poetic possibilities the Japanese syllable, “JI”, carries all of those meanings.

“JI” is the theme of a refreshing collective exhibition held this month at the Nagakute cultural center, gathering 12 Japanese young contemporary artists, working in different mediums (installations, photography, video, painting...). Every one of them is to give their own interpretation of the poetics of the “JI”.

From allegories to denunciation of the implacable impossibility to communicate everything through words, this exhibition is an interpretation of Interpretation, and touches the core of the artist paradox: the necessity to communicate the indicible.

Until 8/10, at the Nagakute cultural center (Fujigaoka) tel: 052-264-8580
