KEN'ICHIRO TANIGUCHI - HECOMI & CITY STUDY IN CHENGDU #41

2019 A4 Artist in Residence International Exchange Program ExhibitionJuly 16 - October 15, 2019LUXELAKES・A4 Art Museum, Chengdu, China30.07.2019
Ken'ichiro Taniguchi is this year's recipient of the A4 Artist in Residence International Exchange Program at the LUXELAKES · A4 Art Museum in Chengdu, China. A total of three Hecomi as well as four large-format City Study works have been created for the occasion in the last two months and can be seen until October on two floors of the museum.
Although Taniguchi in all four City Studies refers to the same basic form, thanks to different concepts he was able to create works of entirely different exprissiveness. Version #1 (see illustration above) was created right before his artist's residence and, according to the artist, was created by arbitrary cuts, creating a form reminiscent of a prehistoric skeleton. Version #2 (pictured below), on the other hand, stemmed from his fascination with the avenues and ring roads such as Tianfu Avenue, Shudu Avenue and Huan Lu, which divide the city from north to south, west to east and around, similar to a dartboard. They exist as intersections or spaces and give the work a particularly dynamic as well as organic structure.... show less

Akihiro Higuchi at the Sinclair-Haus (Bad Homburg)
“Beating Wings. Insects in Contemporary Art”
July 7 - October 13, 201908.07.2019
The relationship between man and insect is marked by ambivalences: "Benefit and harm, blessings and curses, fascination and phobia," writes Andrea Firmenich in the foreword to the exhibition catalog. However, in view of the worldwide decline in species and insect death, the perception of the small "harmful" species has changed in recent years. Once cursed primarily as a plague, the understanding of their necessity for the functioning of ecosystems is becoming increasingly part of public awareness. Curator Ina Fuchs has taken this issue as the starting point for the recently opened exhibition Beating Wings. Insects in Contemporary Art at the Museum Sinclair-Haus in Bad Homburg.Shown are twenty artists; including Akihiro Higuchi, who is represented with several works. In addition to finely painted insects from the series Hana and Mai (flowers and dance) is the photograph Schwebefliege made between 2003 and 2004 in Stuttgart as part of the series Burials. For these burials, the artist covered dead insects with soil and flowers. These small funerals were eventually documented in black and white photographs. With this performative gesture, Higuchi builds on questions typical for his work concerning the relationship between humans and animals and, at the same time, lovingly and impressively points out - in line with the exhibition - the problem of the decline in insects.The exhibition runs until Sunday, October 13, 2019.... show less
