Theme: Memory

ANOMALY (Tokyo), together with A Thousand Plateaus Art Space (Chengdu) and N/A (Seoul) are pleased to participate in ACK 2024, present a group exhibition bringing works by Takahiro Iwasaki, Miyuki Tsugami, Yifan Wu, Qiulin Chen, Hardy Hill, Jiyoon Chung, and Jeman Seo.

As memories shape our identity and cognition, this exhibition aims to offer an immersive journey through artworks with a variety of media, encouraging visitors to reflect on how past experiences inform our present and future. Takahiro Iwasaki creates ephemeral landscapes from daily items, while changing its scale, thereby undermining our fixed perceptions and changing our awareness. Miyuki Tsugami explores how people grasp the external world and then construct standards and values from their perspectives in landscape paintings, derived from her daily sketches. Likewise, Yifan Wu’s creations are autobiographical in nature, observing the subtle relationship between the city and the individual, and draws inspiration from memory and reality and memory. Imaginations and memories about hometown trigger Qiulin Chen’s creation, dealing with ever-shifting time and cities, leading her to those unforeseen reunions and returns. Hardy Hill’s prints reveal anthropomorphic figures from his faint memories, creating complex fantasies that explore tension and uncertainty, yet imply a unique perspective on contemporary issues; while Jiyoon Chung explores corporal punishment across generations by using ordinary objects, and questions the reliability of memory by examining how the language of love is used to justify violence. Jeman Seo is trying to reappear the memories from the distant to the near past with personal experience through drawings.

This exhibition not only mentions memories but also boosts a dialogue concerning shared experience to evoke the interconnection of viewers, even if we live in different environments and backgrounds.
