□ "Self-Taught Artists" Get to the issue of Outsider Art Shisuko Tohmoto, Yoichiro Nonaka, Hebime Saturday, 13 February - Saturday, 20 March, 2010 ★ Exhibition View >>>>> |

Shisuko Tohmoto, Yoichiro Nonaka, Hebime □ Venue YOD Gallery 4-9-15, Nishitenma, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan 530-0047 TEL +81 (0)6 6364 0775 URL: http://www.yodgallery.com Open: 11:00-19:00 Close: Sunday and Monday □ Opening Reception Party From 17:00 on 13th February @ YOD Gallery □ Talk Event "Issues of Outsider Art from a point of view of Self-Taught Art" 15:00-16:30 on 27th February @ YOD Gallery Guest: Mr. Tadashi Hattori (Curator, Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art) □ Exhibition Outline YOD Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition, "Self-taught Artists, get to the issue of Outsider Art" that will be held from 13th February to 20th March 2010. The word of "Outsider Art" has been gradually recognised in Japan. It seems to be an antithesis to the state in Japan where many exhibitions under this theme have been held by museums and a specialising gallery in this field has been newly opened, in which a widening gap between people has become conspicuous in the society. The definition of "Outsider Art" in the West is a genre of art made by untrained makers who were never institutionalised and have little or no contact with the mainstream art world or art institutions. However, "Japanese Outsider Art" seems to be only seen as an act or work by mainly handicapped persons. It considerably helps to support handicapped persons for the social welfare, but heir works themselves haven't been evaluated as works of art yet. There are many approaches to bring their works into the Arts in Japan. In this exhibition, "Self-taught Art" is defined as work by artists who never took academic studies at art schools or institutions and voluntarily started executing works of art as it is clearly defined as one of genres in "Outsider Art" in the West. Earnest approach to Art in their works is strongly seen as their characteristic in a way that they suddenly started painting by an unexpected occurrence or experience in their life, encountering the works of Art in which they have never been interested. They execute works of art under their complex in which they have to keep painting otherwise they can not find a reason to exist themselves. We can see a fresh and lively expression without fixed ideas in their works where a strong relation between works and artists is established. Our aim is to inspect the essence of Outsider Art and to touch the issue of Japanese Outsider Art to open up a new horizon with the key word of "Self-taught Artists" with 3 artists in the exhibition. Shisuko Tohmoto is known as a representative artist in Japanese primitivism and a symbolic artist in "Self-taught Art". Although Hebime and Yoichiro Nonaka are still young, all of their independent style in expression is shocking us to forget the major premise of Outsider Art and a possibility to evolve into Arts that we wanted. There is also a talk event by a curator, Mr. Tadashi Hattori, from Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, who is known as one of outstanding researchers in Outsider Art, speaking on issues of "Outsider Art" from a point of view of "Self-taught Art". □ Artist's Biography Shisuko Tohmoto (Born in Kumamoto, 1913-2005) 1961 Suffered from cerebral haemorrhage.

□ "Under 100" Takuro Sugiyama, Ken Kagajo, Masashi Hattori Tuesday, 12 January - Saturday, 6 February, 2010 ★ Exhibition View >>>>> |

Takuro Sugiyama, Ken Kagajo, Masashi Hattori (YOD Gallery) Mutsumi Sue, Sesamespace, Hitomi Takahashi, Yoshiko Noda (fabre8710) □ Venue YOD Gallery 4-9-15, Nishitenma, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan 530-0047 TEL +81 (0)6 6364 0775 URL: http://www.yodgallery.com fabre8710 3-6-25, Hanaten-Higashi, Tsurumi-ku, Osaka, Japan 538-0044 TEL +81 (0)6 6968 8535 URL: http://www.fabre8710.com/ Open: 11:00-19:00 (YOD Gallery) 12:00-19:00 (fabre8710) Close: Sunday and Monday □ Reception Party From 17:00 until 21:00 on 16th January @ YOD Gallery □ Event "Appreciation in round-table talk" From 13:00 on 16th January @ YOD Gallery □ Exhibition Outline YOD Gallery is pleased to announce the experimental exhibition, Under 100, curated by our curating director, Toshihiro Yamanaka. It is linked to fabre 8710 (Hanaten, Osaka) to show the same theme by both the galleries' artists. It is essential to arrange hanging works according to an exhibition theme and clearly to show the theme to viewers in a gallery. It is also important to set a height of works from human's optical angle and physiology for viewers. We have also put weight on installation across the length and breadth of the 4 metre white cube space at YOD Gallery. In this exhibition, it is a time to think a meaning of a way of show itself in a way that we determinate to display all the works under 100cm, under the name of Under 100. We define that 100cm is an average height when people bent over in a position. If we hang paintings under 100cm, people have to bend down or to change their position to see them aggressively. Viewers might discover a different interpretation with a deeper approach to works with resting their gaze spontaneously in an extraordinary position. The participating artists, Takuro Sugiyama, Ken Kagajo and Masashi Hattori, who know the characteristic s of out space very well, will also tempt viewers’ eyes under 100cm with their expression and composition in their works. Viewing space where people can sit down on the floor will be set up in order additional understanding this exhibition purpose in the one-day event, “Appreciation in round-table talk” on 16th January. Experienced in seeing works of art both in an extraordinary position and an ordinary position like people sit down on tatami mats in Japan, we could find another way of appreciating works of art from a different optical angle and approach. □ Artist's Biography Takuro Sugiyama (Born in Chiba, 1983) 2004 Graduated from Osaka Collage of Art [Solo Exhibition] 2004 Osoblanco (Osaka) 2006 Gallery58 (Tokyo) space gallery roundish (Osaka) 2008 YOD Gallery (Osaka) [Group Exhibition] 2004 Japan-China Art Exchange, Shanghai University, China 2008 ART OSAKA 2008 (YOD Gallery) 2009 ART FAIR TOKYO 2009 (YOD Gallery) ART OSAKA 2009 (YOD Gallery) KOBE ART MARCHE 2009 (YOD Gallery) EMERGING DIRECTORS' ART FAIR "ULTRA 002" (Ryotaro Ishigami, YOD Gallery) Ken Kagajo (Born in Osaka, 1974) 2000 Graduated from Osaka University of Arts Graduate School 2003 Lecturer for Kyoto University of Art and Design (-2008) 2007 Lecturer for Kobe Design University (-2008) 2008 Lecturer for Kyoto Seika University 2009 Lecturer for Kyoto Saga University of Arts [Solo Exhibition] 1998 Gallery Maronie (Kyoto) 2001 Gallery Senbikiya (Tokyo), Gallery Maronie 2002 GALERIE SOL (Tokyo), Gallery Maronie 2003 Wacoal Ginza Art Space (Tokyo) 2004 Gallery Maronie 2005 GALERIE SOL, Wacoal Ginza Art Space 2006 gallery den (Osaka), Gallery Maronie, Gallery Senbikiya 2007 Gallery Planet (Nagoya) 2009 YOD Gallery (Osaka) [Group Exhibition] 1998 3rd Shell Art Award (Meguro Museum of Art, Tokyo) 2002 Selected Artists in Kyoto (Kyoto Cultural Museum, Kyoyo, ’06) 12th Some-Seiryu Exhibition (Kyoto Municipal Museum of art, Meguro Museum of art, ’04, ‘07) 2nd International Tapestry Art Biennale (Beijing) 2004 3rd International Fiber Art Biennale (Shanghai Library Conference and Exhibition Center) 2005 CRIA (Kyoto Art Center) Selected Artists in Kyoto (Kyoto Municipal Museum of art) Two Artists Exhibition (Gallery Keifu, Kyoto, '06, '07, '08) Kaunas Art Biennale (Lithuania) 2006 Japanese Suppleness -contemporary art from Japan- (Denmark) Art Court Frontier 2006#4 (ARTCOURT Gallery, Osaka) 2007 International Craft Trend Fair, (COEX, Seoul) 2008 Group Exhibition (Musee de Some Seiryu, Kyoto) 2009 ART OSAKA 2009 (YOD Gallery) KOBE ART MARCHE (YOD Gallery) EMAEGING DIRECTORS' ART FAIR "ULTRA 002" (YOD Gallery) Masashi Hattori (Born in Hokkaido, 1977) 2003 Graduated from Kyoto Seika University Graduate School 2009 Lecturer for Kyoto Seika University [Solo Exhibition] 2000 Cubic Gallery Iteza (Kyoto) 2002 Kyoto Seika University Sculpture Gallery (Kyoto) 2004 Shinanobashi Gallery (Osaka, '06) 2007 Gallery Artislong (Kyoto, '09) 2009 YOD Gallery (Osaka) [Group Exhibition] 2000 3rd Year Work (Gallery Sowaka, Kyoto) 2001 Group Exhibition (Kobe Harborland, Hyogo) ART UNIV. 2001 (Campus Plaza Kyoto) 2002 Kunori nochi Hare (Gallery Fleur, Kyoto) anotherself (Gallery Artislong, Kyoto) SHUCHO-TEN (Gallery Artislong) 2005 WONDER SEEDS 2005 (Tokyo Wonder Site) Gunma Biennale for Young Artists (Museum of Modern Art Gunma) 2006 Two Artists Exhibiton (Gallery Naufu, Gifu) 2007 Group Exhibition, (Gallery Naufu, '08, '09) 2008 ART OSAKA 2008 (YOD Gallery) 2009 ART OSAKA 2009 (YOD Gallery) KOBE ART MARCHE (YOD Gallery) □ Images Takuro Sugiyama "Untitled" 2009 Acrylic on canvas, 145.5 x 112.1 cm Ken Kagajo "Fold- THE END OF...
