Jam Sessions are joint performances by the Ishibashi Foundation Collection and contemporary artists. For our second session, we welcome Morimura Yasumasa. Since 1985, when he produced a self-portrait photograph in which he had dressed himself to resemble van Gogh’s self-portrait, Morimura has continued to create “self-portrait-ish works” in which he disguises himself as the person in a painting or photograph, choosing sources from diverse periods and cultures and recreates it, adding his own interpretations. Morimura has long had a secret love of the works by Aoki Shigeru and has created works inspired by Aoki’s Self-Portrait (1903) and A Gift of the Sea (1904) in the Ishibashi Foundation Collection. For this Jam Session, Morimura addresses A Gift of the Sea anew, head on. He gives shape to the history of the many changes in Japanese culture, politics, and thought since the Meiji period, when Aoki created that work, in his own Morimura-style A Gift of the Sea-M’s Gift of the Sea. He has elevated his ardent feelings for Aoki into a new series of works. This exhibition will consist of about ten works by Aoki from the collection and about sixty works by Morimura. Of them, more than fifty are new works Morimura created for this exhibition. This session will be a never-before occasion with Morimura and Aoki performing.
