Movie Showing: Echoes of Beginnings
In the realm of art and architecture, two intriguing events are taking place online that invite audiences to delve into unique perspectives.
First, the exhibition "WINDOWOLOGY | New Architectural Views from Japan" is currently ongoing, showcasing the role of windows as cultural objects and their impact on framing our vision. This exhibition, which was developed before the pandemic, explores various architectural wonders from Japan, providing a fresh perspective on the country's architectural landscape. The exhibition is complimentary for all visitors, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Meanwhile, a documentary titled "This 39th International Emmy Awards nominee" sheds light on the life and work of contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Known for his photographic works that challenge conventional perceptions of time and reality, Sugimoto's art is deeply interconnected with sculpture, architecture, and exhibition design. The film explores his works, asking the question, "living in modern times, what are these works trying to tell us?"
To further delve into Sugimoto's artistic journey, a Director's Talk titled "Memories of Origin - Hiroshi Sugimoto" is scheduled for 11.23.2020. The specific location for this talk is yet to be announced. The talk promises to offer insights into Sugimoto's inspirations and creative process, offering a deeper understanding of his groundbreaking work.
It's worth noting that Sugimoto's works have redefined photography as a form of conceptual art. His photographs, known for their striking black and white images, evoke stillness and emptiness, inspired by Renaissance painting and early 19th-century photography. Sugimoto's meticulous attention to detail and tonal richness have captivated audiences worldwide for over three decades.
The exhibition "WINDOWOLOGY," while not directly related to Hiroshi Sugimoto, is extraordinarily pertinent now. By exploring the role of windows as cultural objects, it invites viewers to consider the impact of our surroundings on our vision and perspective, a theme that resonates with Sugimoto's work.
In summary, the online events "WINDOWOLOGY" and the Hiroshi Sugimoto documentary offer compelling insights into the world of art and architecture. Whether you're interested in the role of windows in shaping our vision or the life and work of Hiroshi Sugimoto, these events provide a unique opportunity to broaden your horizons and deepen your understanding of these fascinating subjects.
