Production of a new video work by Aya Momose and opening of a solo exhibition “I.C.A.N.S.E.E.Y.O.U.”
For her first solo exhibition in Tokyo for three years, Aya Momose brought together three new pieces, “I.C.A.N.S.E.E.Y.O.U,” “Jokanaan,” and “Social Dance.” These pieces employ physical gestures like visual language to explore such issues as the asymmetry between the one who is seeing and the one who is seen, and the staggering discrepancies in our relationships and interactions with others. Also involved in the planning and implementation of the exhibition held at the artist-run space EastFactoryArtGallery in East Tokyo were Ichiro Fujimoto (production manager), Miwa Negoro (exhibition curator), Atsushi Kumagai (graphic design) and EFAG EastFactoryArtGallery’s Atsushi Adachi (venue set-up). A four-way discussion was held on the last day of the exhibition featuring video artist/filmmaker Yu Araki, Momose, Fujimoto and Negoro.
