Ginza Curator’s Room #005 Tomoko Yabumae “Angel‘s Perch”

Shibunkaku Ginza launched the Ginza Curator’s Room series in August 2022, inviting guest curators to present exhibitions at the gallery and bring their perspectives to bear on creating a “room” infused with new appeals and values.
 
For its 5th iteration Angel‘s Perch, we welcome Ms. Tomoko Yabumae, curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, to curate the show.
 
This exhibition was initially inspired by Onchi Kōshirō’s “angle-like” work Title Unknown (c.1949), a work that combined with diverse elements, such as wood, stone, trigonometry, circle, etc., and it features other two artists Shoko Masunaga and Yaya Ueda, who have dealt with issues that resonate with the process of image formation. In a modern world where we are exposed to a flood of images, their works provide us with a clue to regain the act of “seeing” actively.
