Join us for a free lunchtime tour related to our exhibition, Erase and See by Sumi Kanazawa, led by Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation staff. The tour will focus on the work Drawings on Newspapers and the concepts behind this work, along with a new work derived from Drawing on Newspaper.
Kanazawa uses a black 10B pencil to obliterate printed words and images in newspapers, except for those that appeal to her, either for a reason or intuitively. The remaining content is thus excised from its context to weave new stories. For Kanazawa, the erasure of context is a liberating experience, pointing up the discrepancy between an individual’s sense of time and that regulated by society. We will explore Sumi’s artistic practice, ideas, and inspiration.
As the number of participants is limited, we urge you to sign up quickly.
