Thank you very much for your attendance and support. As I have informed you, the atelier that was the venue of the event no longer physically exists. However, I am sure that something remains in your hearts. I hope so.
Although I was the organizer of the event, it was a great experience for me to participate. I was surrounded by many artworks in a space with warm-hearted participants. It was my last solo exhibition and my last studio. The various factors that were intertwined led me to the deepest part of my soul’s memory.
So “it didn’t go well” is just a brand my present self stamps onto an event; put plainly, I think it’s nothing more than an illusion. When my slightly-further-in-the-future self looks back at me now, I’m sure I’ll think, That was one of the important stepping stones too.
On April 13th (Sat), I will be holding a special one-day event at the venue of my solo exhibition. This is a farewell party for everyone to get together in harmony before I, the artist Kota, leave the country for the last time. Let’s spend a rich time in a space surrounded by a lot of art.
I will hold my last solo exhibition in Japan, as I will be moving out of the country for a while from this spring, 2024. It will be held from April 12 to 15, 10:00 to 21:00 at my studio in Ota-ku, Tokyo.
