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.
I will be leaving Japan and relocating overseas for a while after May 2024. I will be training in art overseas.
The last event will be held at Atelier U+Me, a studio created by Kota, an artist of oneness. This is a place that will never exist again, and it is also the site of his solo exhibition, where I will hold a meditation surrounded by many artworks. And this meditation will be very different from ordinary meditations.
