・Message for this exhibition
The contemporary art scene, which has suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of commercialism, has been subject to the rampant differentiation of art through superficial means.
Minami Iki continues to embody the "core of art" with infinite perfection that transcends human intent.
The inseparability of all and nothingness, the simultaneity of eternity and the moment, which are embodied in his works,
The work infiltrates the viewer with ontological uncertainty.
The memory of this encounter with the "core of art" will remain engraved in his body and mind.
