void+ proudly announces the exhibition of “Frozen Flowers” by flower artist Makoto Azuma. Arranged flowers are sprayed with water mist and literally frozen in a freezer to cut off the flowers from the natural aging process. In a man-made environment with a temperature of -8℃, the flowers slowly wilt and morph into "the living dead." You are cordially invited to experience this entirely new world of flowers as presented by Azuma. Data: Aug. 7th(Sat) – August 15th (Sun) 2pm – 7pm; Aug. 15th will be closing at 6pm Venue: void+ 3-16-14-1F Minamiaoyama, Minatoku, Tokyo 107-0062 tel: 03-511-0080 fax: 03-5411-0051 info@voidplus.jp http://www.voidplus.jp Contact: Makoto Azuma, AMKK tel/fax 03-5414-5823＜James Shun＞ Makoto Azuma (1976, Fukuoka) http://www.azumamakoto.com/ ]]> http://www.voidplus.jp/en/2010/07/_frozen_flowers.php http://www.voidplus.jp/en/2010/07/_frozen_flowers.php 5000_Events 5150_Makoto Azuma - Frozen Flowers 9000_News Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:11:16 +0900

©Ives Maes Pabellon del Futuro (Exposicion Universal de Sevilla, 1992) Duratrans on acrylic, light box 100 x 125 cm void+ is honored to present “PROGRESS,” a exhibition by artist Ives Maes from Saturday April 3 to Friday April 23, 2010. Ives Maes is a contemporary artist based in Antwerp, Belgium. Although Maes uses various mixed media, his main medium of choice is photography. This exhibition showcases a series of photographs from one of his most well-known projects, where Maes stages familiar characters from science fiction movies at world exposition sites. Maes' subject, the world exposition is a global event promoting world peace through exhibitions of art, technology and science from participating countries.　The world exposition brings a sense of anticipation of a positive future full of hope. This subject is contrasted with characters from science fiction movies, which tend to be critical of overdeveloped technology and science with themes that foresees the future as a metaphor of human tragedy. Maes showcases this contradistinction with a unique perspective through his photographs of familiar scenes with extra-terrestrials or characters, which one may perceive as "peculiar" and / or "comical." If artists are agents of social absurdity and truth like prophets, then Ives Maes is definitely one such artist. This exhibition introduces photographs of the European exposition sites from his photography series. Please come and see the one of Belgium’s up-and-coming artists, Ives Maes' first solo exhibition in Japan! ]]> http://www.voidplus.jp/en/2010/04/ives_maes_progress.php http://www.voidplus.jp/en/2010/04/ives_maes_progress.php 3000_Press Release 7000_Exhibitions 7180_Ives Maes - PROGRESS Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:26:31 +0900

The art of Taguchi, whose practice transcends the boundary between painting and photography, emerges from a series of complex processes. Taguchi begins by gathering a selection of the innumerable images flooding media such as fashion magazines and the internet. Disassembling them, she uses the resulting fragments to make montages, which she then renders in paint. The delicate canvases thus created are then photographed, taking on their final, completed form via a different medium again. Here we have certain "things" that definitely did exist – faces for example, scenes from nature, cosmic landscapes; but by taking images that existed through someone's filter, dismantling, and giving them new life, Taguchi turns them into something grey. As a result, initial images of these "things" begin to take on different meanings. Kazuna Taguchi's works draw our attention to the unfettered multiplicity of the very act of looking that we undertake so casually. "White lacks sufficient black. Black lacks sufficient white. These are half in gray."

©O JUN/Regreen Arts
Regreen Arts! 2009 is being held as part of the Regreen Project, which was born out of the concept of "wanting to combine at a comfortable distance urban life and a rich natural environment." Regreen Arts! grew out of a single building in Mizukuchi, Yamanashi city, with the aim of giving root to a new culture in which "art" and "nature," and "cities" and "local communities" are in harmony. It consists of a "slow art project" and a "summer-camp residence" , and various other programs will also be on offer, including a series of video art screenings, and work shops by artists and other expertise, all of which are designed to enable participants to experience communing with and thinking about nature through creating. Arts! involves not only viewing but also action on the part of the audience.
