曝す(さらす) ~IYOTA JIMMY、加藤笑平、鳴島充人による連続10日間の公開制作~

This exhibition aims to explore the roots of creativity in contemporary art and to analyze the dynamic process of its generation. The three artists specializing in different fields of expression, Shohei Kato, who approaches the depths of perceptual phenomena through minute observation of daily life and exquisite color composition, Ahito Narishima, who attempts to expand existing artistic concepts and create new perceptual experiences by combining different materials, and heARTbeat psychoman, who uses diverse media in a transversal and improvisational manner to illuminate the fluidity of information, bodies, and identities in contemporary society. The experimental situation will be an open production for 10 consecutive days, inviting three artists who specialize in different fields of expression.
This experiment will provide an opportunity to examine not only the final form of the work, but also the mechanisms that lead to its creation, the process of concept formation, and the cognitive and physical transformations of the creators from multiple perspectives. The visualization of the production process during the exhibition exposes the previously invisible linkage between the artist's thoughts and practice, and suggests the possibility of a new interpretation of the work that focuses on the process, as opposed to the conventional viewing style that focuses on the finished product.
This exhibition pursues its academic and social significance as a case study that examines the transformation of the mechanism and subject of production in contemporary art from multiple perspectives. We believe that this will provide a venue for adding new perspectives to the framework of art and deepening our understanding of creativity.


■IYOTA JIMMY (heARTbeat psychoman)
Borderless homeless person with no fixed address, Expressionist
Born in 1977
Born in Kitakyushu, Japan
His activities are unrestricted by media, such as monotone, color, acrylics, and photography.
She creates works that jolt the perception with intense colors and unrestrained energy. Attracted by the organic forms and vitality of nature, she is self-taught in the search for her own unique form of expression. The interplay of saturated colors and organic forms in his paintings suggest primordial messages that affect the deepest layers of the psyche, activating emotions and memories.

Presiding over Kabashima Storehouse from 2023
The paintings are made by combining scrap wood and natural objects, and the installation assembled with scrap wood is the extension and foundation of the paintings, and the performance is developed, recombined, and reassembled within the installation. The performance is a kind of “sanctuary” where the artist simultaneously and simultaneously performs a number of acts using events and things that everyone is exposed to in daily life and things that he or she has in his or her possession, and then creates an atmosphere and place like a sanctuary before finally putting it away.
