Ryota Aoyagi
From Friday November 15, to Saturday December 7, LAG is excited to present “SANDPLAY,” a solo exhibition by Ryota Aoyagi.
Launching his career as an artist in 2005 after graduating from Tama Art University, Aoyagi’s work to date has been dominated by conceptual installations employing objects chosen with his unique eye for beauty. His oeuvre is characterized by a persistent quest for new contexts, meanings, and scenes, achieved by selecting then combining and reconstructing a group of objects differing in era, provenance and purpose.
For this exhibition unveiling a new series titled “SANDPLAY” (ie sandtray therapy) a “sand tray” for the artist himself will be set up in the venue. Throughout history, humans have woven the various stories we call myths, to help them construct a relationship with the world. We hope visitors will discern and read the secret stories incorporated in the tiny, restricted realm of the “sand tray” here.
Also on display as a special feature of the exhibition, and available for purchase, will be the catalogue (published by Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, printed by LIVE ART BOOKS) from the “Furodougu SAKATA Our Choice” exhibition staged this year at By Art Matters in Hangzhou, China, and curated by Aoyagi. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to check it out.
