| Exhibition view of a series of woodblocks :"Tamakagiru" at Gallery Ikeda Bijutsu |
|
| Since last year Edition Works has been making a series of woodblocks ("Tamakagiru") and etchings ("Shiratama") with Noe Aoki, and the exhibition has now opened. All pieces are color; it is the first time for Aoki to use color in her etchings. The strong carving marks, which can be seen in the woodblocks, make for a very direct expression. In contrast to these, the etchings, while making use of direct lines and vivid colors, create a more delicate atmosphere. Both of these forms, show strong links with the sense of atmosphere and space that Aoki is presently making with her three dimensional work. If it is not possible for you to visit any of the exhibitions then please take a look at the prints via this page: |

THE 2nd Auckland Triennial -Public/Private Tumatanui/Tumataiti- started on March 20. Thirty-seven international artists were invited to exhibit work at various spaces in Auckland. Kasahara's work will be on show at Auckland Gallery. This time, the theme of the Triennial focuses on the meaning of privacy and individuality within a number of contemporary socio-political contexts. Please drop by the exhibition if you happen to be in Auckland! The exhibition runs until May 30.
Edition Works has begun preparations for Kasahara's new project. This project could take up to two or three years to complete, so we will keep you informed of its progress. |

| RIEKO HIDAKA |
An exhibition entitled "Invitation to 20th Century Art : From the Collection of The National Museum of Art, Osaka" travels to three museums in western Japan.
Hidaka's painting "Yoko" (1983, collection of The National Museum of Art, Osaka) will be exhibited alongside some of the great works of the 20th Century. The second exhibition has just started at Oita Art Museum.
Oita Art Museum (21 May-4 July) 865, Ueno, Oaza, Oita-shi. Tel : +81-97-554-5800
The Okayama Prefectual Museum of Art (9 July-15 August) 8-48, Tenjin-cho, Okayama-shi Tel : +81-862-25- 4800
Hidaka's one person show of new paintings will soon begin at galerie 16.
The gallery's press release states, "As one looks up at the tree branches in Rieko Hidaka's new work, rather than only fixing one's eyes on the branches, one feels the sensation of the space. With these three paintings combined one feels a different sense of space and the beginnings of an experiment with distance." We hope you will enjoy this new work.

| KOSAI HORI |
Kosai Hori presently has a solo exhibition entitled "Collection-The Tenth Year of Verification: Recollections-Kosai Hori" at Takaoka Art Museum. It runs from 1 April to 8 August.
This year the Takaoka Art Museum reaches its tenth year, and so with this exhibition the museum would like to reflect over these ten years while it also looks at its future standing. The aim of the exhibition is to think about the permanent collection that it has. With this in mind, the work of Hori from its permanent collection as well as his most recent work has come to form this one person show.
