KOKIA in flashback - 2008

We have made it to 2008, the year of KOKIA's 10th anniversary! She celebrates this milestone and her new-found independence accordingly with multiple (!) new albums: the anniversary album The VOICE (with a Japanese and European release), the album Fairy Dance which she records in Ireland, and Christmas gift, a Christmas album (with once again a Japanese and European release). We also get the complete collection 1998-1999, gathering all her songs from her Ponyo Canyon era.

She also returns to Europe, this time performing not only in Paris, but also Brussels, Belgium. She draws 1,800 people to her performances in France, expanding her scope there.

At the end of the year, she travels to the United States for her Music Gift project, where she hands out 10,000 copies of the single Music Gift by herself dressed as Santa in New York City, in memoriam of the 9/11 attacks. She includes a new version of remember the kiss on this; Remember the kiss (dedicated to "New" NY).

Artist Research - Nobuhiro Nakanishi (Layering)

About - Nobuhiro is a Japanese artist, born in Fukuoka, Japan 1976. He studied sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University gaining Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Kyoto City of University of Art, of which he received an MA in 2002 when graduating. There is no more information on Nakanishi’s life, so I will mostly be talking about his work. He mostly works to create immersive installation experiences which attempt to capture the passage of time by using photography, sculpture and prolonged observation.

Nakanishi’s work typically involves presenting humans or objects in 3D interpretations using various media, such as wood, stone, clay and metal. He uses his art to express his thoughts around the antithetical ideas of existence and absence, the material and the non-material, the visible and the invisible, sense and conceptual territories such as consciousness, thoughts, memories and time, inviting the viewer into a mysterious and engaging experience.

Nakanishi’s installations render the abstracts and the ephemeral through serialised images on plexiglass panels, which he uses to portray the topics of absence, spatial-temporal perception and sensory experiences. Their work is typically produced as a series, by combining individual images together to produce an absract experience of the depicted subject, such as a sunset or the physical encounter with nature.

Nakanishi’s ‘Layered Drawings’ are created with photographs of environments that are taken over a long period of time and then chronologically arranged on acrylic panels to recreate temporal progressions, with small variations within each frame. This allows the art to be perceived where time has ‘no shape or boundary’, letting the experience differ from person to person. Within the gaps of the images, viewers can use their personal experience to add their perspective to the artists documentation, since each image has captured a different moment in the places history.

Nakanishi’s ‘Stripe Drawings’ depict landscapes in which distances and physical boundaries dissolve, such as a landscape covered in fog. For example; made from countless fine pencil lines produced at set intervals, the lines and spaces create shapes that appear to encroach on one another, yet coexist on the same plane - Stripe Drawing – Eclipse 3 (2013). Nakanishi implies that when the public track said lines, recreates the ‘physical experience’ of the artists free-hand drawing process, thus making the connection between the viewers and the artwork.

Nobuhiro Nakanishi has had a good amount of exhibitions, solo and group. Solo exhibitions include Gunma Museum of Art (2016); Yumiko Chiba Associates, Tokyo (2015); Kashya Hilderbrand, London (2014); Joyce Gallery, Beijing (2013); Aomori Contemporary Art Centre (2011); Gallery Nomart, Osaka (2010); and Osaka Contemporary Art Center (2006). Group exhibitions include Asia Culture Center, Gwangju (2015); Art Stage Singapore (2014); Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Aichi (2012); The Museum of Modern Art, Wakayama (2011); 7th International Ink Painting Biennial, Shenzhen (2010); Hangaram Arts Center Museum, Seoul (2009); and Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2007).

Quote - “We are all subject to the passing of time, yet each of us feels and perceives it in our own way,” Nakaniski says on his website. “Time itself has no shape or boundary and cannot be fixed or grasped. When we look at the photographs in these sculptures, we attempt to fill in the gaps between the individual images. We draw from our physical experiences to fill in missing time and space, both ephemeral and vague. In this series, I attempt to depict time and space as sensations shared by both viewer and artist.”

Thoughts - I’ve chosen to research Nobuhiro Nakanishi as I find his use of layer highly inspirational, I’d like to create something similar with my own work. I love the build up of colour, depth and dimension which are qualities rife within his art, creating visually intricate pieces that the viewer can dissect at each individual layer. I’d like to explore with his method of images on see through 2D material, to find how I too can create a scene that bring the viewer closer.

Over the course of the COVID lockdowns - desperate for the outside world beyond my doorstep, city, state and country - I started crafting a project using entirely Google Maps Streetview Images. I viewed and downloaded the world from my desk, finding amazing spaces, altering, hand tracking and creating timelapses and shots. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the material. Until I heard the latest album from Axel Boman. Here was a song from one of my favorite artists with such a propulsive and idealistic reaching out towards the wider world. Letting the wind take us, with love as the sail, a blur of adventure across the planet. Special thanks to Axel, Kornel and Studio Barnhus for the trust, a random plugin that let me download raw 360 images and Google for bringing the world to our screens.

Maple Trees at Mama, Tekona Shrine and Linked Bridge, No. 94 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, Utagawa Hiroshige, 1st month of 1857, Brooklyn Museum: Asian Art

Mama was over ten miles east of central Edo, on the far side of the Edogawa River in the present city of Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture. It was known for the beauty of its autumn maples, their glorious orange color here unfortunately blackened with age (see print 88 for a discussion of the ink pigment). Beyond the maple trees lay the shrine and bridge mentioned in the title, which enjoyed a life of their own in Japanese literature. The literary fame of Mama dates back to Japan's first great poetry anthology, the Man'yoshu, particularly to the tale of Tekona, the beautiful country maid who was so harassed by suitors that she threw herself into the waters of Mama in desperation. In 1501, the seventh abbot of Guhoji consecrated the small shrine to Tekona that Hiroshige has depicted here to the lower left, partly hidden by the tree trunk. The shrine had progressed in Hiroshige's time from a literary to a religious landmark. The worship of Tekona was believed to aid in childbirth and in the cure of chickenpox. The shrine survives today, although the surrounding area is now densely settled. In the center of the print, beyond the Tekona Shrine, is another legacy of the Man'yoshu, the Linked Bridge of Mama, over which one of Tekona's suitors came to woo her. The forms of the distant mountains shown here are those of Mount Tsukuba. Size: Sheet: 14 3/16 x 9 1/4 in. (36 x 23.5 cm) Image: 13 3/8 x 8 3/4 in. (34 x 22.2 cm) Medium: Woodblock print
