Witchery in a box: the complete limited-edition book of @tomokosawada_artist ’s major solo show

For Sawada’s solo exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, featured photographs from thirteen past bodies of work—including ID400; Sawada’s most recent series, Reflection; and her earliest self-portrait, shown publicly here for the first time—recompiled by the artist into a new series titled To Be Bewitched by a Fox. The book includes every one of those photographs, nearly 1,400 in all. With a layout of one work per page plus extensive text, that makes for a hefty total of 1,552 pages.

Spanning more than 10cm at the spine and much too thick to bind by machine, each copy has been sewn together one by one by hand. The result is a book that is more than just a book, but a work of art in itself. Indeed, the artistry extends to the specially constructed storage box: Sawada’s bewitching world begins even before you open the pages from the moment you place your hands on the box to raise the lid.

Each copy also includes one signed 1 of 1 original print from the hundred works in the Reflection series.

Somewhere Between the Odd and the Ordinary 21st Ce

Somewhere Between the Odd and the Ordinary
21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa

Seven groups of eleven artists will take a fresh look at the "everyday" that we have been forced to become aware of. Some of the works focus on the small acts of creation in our daily lives that we overlook if we are not conscious of them, others capture the subtleties of confronting sudden loss or disaster, and still others reveal the everyday that continues to change form. Through these works, the present at the intersection of the everyday and the extraordinary emerges.

KOYAMADA Toru + KOYAMADA Kazuki

This is the catalogue of the current exhibition at 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.

SPREAD by SPREAD
This is the first collection of work by SPREAD, a creative unit that uses colour and design to bring joy to the world.

SPREAD is the creative unit of Haruna Yamada and Hirokazu Kobayashi, whose work has been highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad. Their work incorporates all kinds of memories of the environment, living things, objects, time, history, colours, and letters. They are involved in the design and direction of a wide range of graphic, product and exhibition projects, with "colour and concept" as their hallmarks, and always strive to make social proposals.

Esercizio del bacio (For now, I blow kisses to yo

Esercizio del bacio (For now, I blow kisses to you）
A story of love and prayer under lockdown by a Japanese artist living in Italy

This is a new work by Ayumi Kudo, who lives in Lombardy, Italy, following on from her well-received work "Unmeasurable Things / Le cose in-misurabil".
The story begins on 10 March 2020, the day the "IO RESTO A CASA" (I am at home) policy came into force across Italy. In the midst of these difficult days, when our minds and bodies were immersed in a sea of anxiety, fear and exhaustion, we found unforgettable emotions and feelings that had been hidden from us. As the situation worsens, this diary of changing emotions is a beacon of hope at a time when the world is in a state of uncertainty due to the ever-changing spread of Covid.

Kengo Kuma: A Tale of Beginnings
A book to help you understand the origins of architect Kengo Kuma

This is the latest book by Kengo Kuma, the architect of the National Stadium, which is currently hosting the Tokyo Olympics.

Yusuhara is a town in Kochi Prefecture where architect Kengo Kuma has been involved in urban development for about 30 years, and where five Kuma buildings have been built, including his first wooden building, the "Kumo-no-Ue-no Hotel". This collection of photographs traces the history of Kuma and Yusuhara, with narratives by Kuma and photographs of the buildings by photographer Mikiya Takimoto.
