Exonemo
Waitingroom (Tokyo) is pleased to present “On Memory,” a solo exhibition by Exonemo from July 6 to August 6, 2023.
This will be Exonemo’s third solo exhibition at the gallery in two years, and will consist mainly of a new series of works based on the theme of documentation and memory. The new series presented in this exhibition is premised on the extremely provisional condition that it disappears when reloaded and cannot be recorded or documented anywhere — that is, it is a text that survives only in human memory. In an age where all information can be recorded as digital data, and where the advent of blockchain technology has ostensibly boosted its permanence even further, this work, which is based on the idea of human memory as an essential precondition, seeks to highlight both the permanence of digital data and artworks as well as their ephemeral nature through Exonemo’s unique brand of humor.
In the early stages of the exhibition, Exonemo will exhibit their works at three locations simultaneously. From July 7 (Fri) to July 9 (Sun), Exonemo will participate in the Tokyo Gendai art fair at Pacifico Yokohama, at the NowHere (New York) booth, and from July 8 (Sat) to July 10 (Mon) at the CADAN: Contemporary Art fair, at What Cafe & T-Lotus M (Tennozu).
