Shigeo Toya, 'Body of the Gaze: from Scatter to Linkage, from Linkage to Accumulation' at ShugoArts, Tokyo
Save to My OculaShugoArts is pleased to announce the opening of a solo exhibition by Shigeo Toya from Saturday, January 8, 2022.
In this exhibition, Body of the Gaze−Linkage, a ‘mass’ sculpture with linked wood, will be installed in the front room, and Body of the Gaze−Accumulation, another ‘mass’ sculpture with stacked wood, will be placed in the back room.
In his solo exhibition at ShugoArts in 2019, Toya installed Body of the Gaze consisting of nine masses in the front room and _Body of the Gaze−Scatte_r consisting of scattered pieces on the four walls in the back room. This time, the artist will showcase Body of the Gaze−Linkage, which he created during spring of this year and presented in his solo exhibition at KENJI TAKI GALLERY in Nagoya, and his latest work Body of the Gaze−Accumulation.
Named as Body of the Gaze, this series contains four parts that propose continuous sculptural development: mass, scatter, linkage and accumulation.
What this exhibition entails is Toya’s blueprint for the so-called greater theory for the sculptural development movement.
