We are pleased to present a solo exhibition of Akane Saijo (1989–), grand-prize winner in the 1st “MIMOCA EYE” exhibition. Saijo creates organically shaped clay sculptures, using them to produce moments when viewers grow viscerally aware of their own and other people’s bodies. Struck by how pottery’s hollows resemble the hollow spaces in the human body, she in recent years has created works suggestive of the body and its organs and held performances of blowing breath and sound into their hollows, seeking in this way to extend her body and the bodies of other performers. Hoping to examine more deeply the boundary between artwork and body, this exhibition will additionally feature glass works produced through a process of blowing air into their interior. Making ceramics means touching the clay with hands, shaping it with hand movements, and leaving hand marks on its surface. Hence, Saijo views ceramics as an act of becoming viscerally aware of her own body and a practice of communicating with the world. In performances, she has newly introduced the act of transport to explore the kinds of communication possible between the artwork and the body, between the interacting bodies of people lifting and carrying, and their bodies and the physical surroundings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan is=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanguage: Japanese and English (bilingual)\u003cbr\u003ePages: 96 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 25.6 × 18.4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\" id=\"E297\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"E298\" is=\"\"\u003eTexts\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：Akane Saijo,Hirokazu Tokuyama,Madoka Matumura\u003cbr\u003eTranslation\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：Christopher Stephens\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（pp.73,79,87-89),\u003cbr\u003eAmstutz Communications\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（p.77),\u003cbr\u003eDarryl Jingwen Wee\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（pp.82-84),\u003cbr\u003ePhoto\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：Takeru Koroda\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（pp.1-72,94_1,\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e94_4,5),Keizou Kioku\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（pp.78-79),\u003cbr\u003eMasahiro Yamamoto\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（p.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e94_2)\u003cbr\u003ePhoto courtesy\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：ARTCOURT Gallery\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（p.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e94_1,\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ep.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e95_4,5),\u003cbr\u003eLOCO GALLERY\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e（p.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e94_2)\u003cbr\u003eDesign\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：Yuri Suyama\u003cbr\u003ePrinting and Binding\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：LIVE Art Books Inc.\u003cbr\u003ePublishers\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e：Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art,\u003cbr\u003eThe MIMOCA Foundation 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan is=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\" id=\"E325\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"E300\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIMOCA ウェブショップ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46637846692009,"sku":"1234520041000","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/5497\/2585\/files\/63d1069b45bcb5e29b9ddef70a528f25.jpg?v=1764466260","url":"https:\/\/shop-mimoca.xyz\/en\/products\/%e3%83%9b%e3%83%bc%e3%83%a0-%e3%82%b9%e3%82%a4%e3%83%bc%e3%83%88-%e3%83%9b%e3%83%bc%e3%83%a0-%e3%82%b3%e3%83%94%e3%83%bc-1","provider":"MIMOCA ONLINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
