Under the theme of "The Palm of Buddha" some new works by Aiko Miyanaga, Kazuki Hitoosa and Tomoko Shioyasu. "The Palm of Buddha" ("In the hands of the gods") tends usually to be associated with the idea of manipulation without being aware of it. However, drawing not only from this concept, the aim of this exhibition is an experimentation with how contemporary art can look anew at universal values, that of worshipping "the Palm of the Buddha", of being protected and encouraged, of seizing the benevolence of a certain source. Opening Event: May 10th (Saturday) 14:00-17:00 Artists' Talk: 14:00-16:00 Reception Party: 16:00-17:00

This exhibition is a group show focusing on how materials relate to contemporary art. It has been held annually since 1986.

This exhibition will introduce a new style from the artist. All the paintings have been produced on giant canvases over size 20, each showing her individual stories. Added to the paintings the story will be set in the middle, so that the work can be carefully appreciated from two perspectives, that of a text and that of a visual object. Further, during the exhibition period, the gallery will hold special live painting events on its exterior walls.
