Void+ is proud to announce Tatsumi Orimoto-Document, an exhibition
featuring a documentary exhibition of Art Event "PICNIC," organized by
Orimoto in October 2007 along with an opening performance entitled
Alpaca+Owl+Flag. "PICNIC" was inspired by Édouard Manet's Le déjeuner
sur l'herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass), the Pan-European Picnic, the
peace demonstration significant to world history held in Hungary in
1989; and from restaurant FOOD, opened in the art community of Soho,
New York by Gordon Matta-Clark in 1971. Orimoto reaches out to the
global art community through this exhibition in his home town of
Kawasaki, Japan.
The exhibition showcases videos, photos, and other materials
documenting the event. Orimoto has performed with animals from
time-to-time, but for the first time ever in a gallery space. An
alpaca and an owl will take part in this opening performance.
During his stay in New York City in the 70's, Orimoto experienced the
Fluxus, Happening, and performance art from which he was inspired, and
since continues to perform communication art pieces today. The most
representative of Orimoto's performance pieces are Bread Men and Art
Mama among others.
Orimoto's first retrospective exhibition was held at the MASP (Museu
de Arte de São Paulo) since January, and recognition of his work is
especially evident overseas. Orimoto is considered one of the most
influential Japanese contemporary artists today.
