NOTAS: | Catálogo da exposição "Tadashi Kawamata: Overflow" patente na Galeria Oval do MAAT - Museu de Arte Arquitetura e Tecnologia (Lisboa), de 05 de outubro de 2018 a 01 de abril de 2019, com curadoria de Pedro Gadanho e Marta Jecu MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia At the peak of a 40-year long career, Kawamata conceived a truly immersive installation revealing some of his favored themes: the sculptural reinvention of debris, the specific outcome of a community effort, and the questioning of how shelter is shaped and imagined. In “Over Flow”, however, he also delved into materials he had never used before – and dived deeper into questions of how a built environment can translate a critical worldview. Deploying plastic rubble handpicked from Portuguese shores, working in a city famously devastated by an earthquake and a tsunami, Kawamata revisited Japanese art traditions and works such as Katsushika Hokusai’s “Under the Wave off Kanagawa”. |
