Exhibition Information

Makoto Fujimura, Shozo Michikawa: Dust and Gold (2025.09.28 to 2026.08.30)

Dust is impermanence, daily life, the residue and continuation after material weathering; gold is the flash of light, the sedimentation of belief, the indestructible echo of spirituality.

Two states of existence intertwined in the flow of time. This exhibition is jointly presented by contemporary abstract expressionist artist Makoto Fujimura and ceramic sculptor Shozo Michikawa. Starting from their respective sensitive perceptions of matter and deep spiritual pursuits, they weave a poetic dialogue about time and matter. This is the first large-scale exhibition in Taiwan for both artists, featuring works spanning 1992-2025, including paintings, sound installations, and ceramic sculptures. Through the three sections of the exhibition: [Shining in Silence], [Blooming in Adversity], and [Walking on Water], it guides people to perceive the beauty of tranquility from natural minerals, light, and dynamic sculptures infused with natural energy, opening up a new perspective that is gentle yet firm when facing impermanence.

Ho Kan, Kwon Soon-ik: Wandering Through Time (2025.11.23 to 2026.11.01)

Works spanning seventy years (1955 to 2024), including paintings, object installations, and early artist manuscripts, re-evoke the core spirit of “abstraction” in the East Asian context through a cross-generational and cross-regional dialogue between two artists. With “Form and Qi” as the curatorial axis, the exhibition features works spanning 1955 – 2024, including paintings, object installations, and early artist manuscripts. It unfolds a rhythm of perception through five major exhibition areas: [Order of Form, Flow of Qi], [Re-gazing at East Asian Abstraction], [From Stillness to Motion: Dots, Squares, Triangles], [Between Form and Qi: The Entrance to Eternity], [Painting is the Bridge Between Us]. At the same time, the integration of cleverly placed designer furniture guides viewing angles and experiential flow.

The artist combines contemporary jewelry (miniature optical sculptures) with light refraction and innovative materials to create mesmerizing artworks resembling black holes and galaxies. These works not only showcase the peculiar colors of starlight twinkling in the night sky but also convey fantastic associations with the unseen yet existing universe.
