"Comics" Exhibition
at Sewing Gallery (Higashi Osaka area)
(2008-04-29 - 2008-05-18)

"Manga" (comics) is now a universal word and has reached the point where it is read by men and women, young and old. In recent times it has continued to develop, overcoming the simple boundaries of consumerist media to become a separate cultural entity. The content and genre of manga ranges from archetypal action comics to historical tales, love stories, and documentaries. This exhibition focuses on the "frame", the essential component of a comic. As manga has evolved, so also has the concept of the "frame" broadened. Initially showing just absolute chronological direction, the "frame" now has numerous uses, staging unimaginable time changes, a method for drawing the landscape of the mind. Photographic series art works can also be seen as a technique that includes the manga "frame" component. By integrating the separate frames together and showing them as one work, a new dynamic is born. Opening Party: April 29th (Tue) 17:00-

Ken Hamazaki "Maze Painting of Golden Rice"
at Ken Hamazaki Red Museum (Namba area)
(2008-05-05 - 2008-06-30)

Ken Hamazaki uses rice covered in gold leaf, which are then pasted on a material to create a maze. A golden rice is symbolic of good fortune in the Buddhist sphere. However, typically it is only one grain of rice that is regarded good luck. Thus when there are plenty, does it mean that there are too many dieties? Or is it a rejection of religion? These questions are asked to the audience. Opening Party: May 5th (Mon) 17:00-20:00 [Image: Nico "Maze Painting" (1997)]
