“Duality of Existence—Post Fukushima” at Friedman Benda
June 26 – August 9
Opening: June 26th, 6 PM – 8PM
515 West 26th Street
Triggered by the imminent threat of atomic catastrophe in March 2011, this new reality has forced a re-evaluation of human existence in Japan that is powerfully manifested in the art of today. Duality of Existence—Post Fukushima brings together seven responses to the new reality ranging from well-established artists such as Motohiko Odani and Takahiro Iwasaki to emerging artists such as Kazuki Umezawa, Hirofumi Isoya and Masaharu Sato. The young artist Yusuke Suga will make his debut in the United States alongside work from Japan’s most controversial collective Chim↑Pom, who were among the first to enter the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiici Power Plant after the eruption.
