Hakari Contemporary is pleased to present “Dolly,” a solo exhibition by Hiroshima-based artist Isayama Genki.
Isayama has been creating works that give originality to reproductions, using mannequins and mass-produced souvenirs as motifs. Underlying these works is Isayama’s view of the future, which derives from the development of unethical science and technology related to cloning and androids and the supposedly replaceable human body that awaits. Curated by Uo Kana (Curator, Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art), this exhibition will present an installation on the theme of reproduction and originality centered on a new work related to Dolly, the first sheep in the world to be cloned successfully.
