Collection Exhibition 2 Sea Lane – Connecting to the Islands

With the theme Islands Connecting Okinawa and the Sea, this exhibition focuses on the diversity of the natural and cultural origins of works from the museum’s collection, and from the various regions connected by the sea. The sea has long been a “path” that connects islands to each other, helping to transmit influences between regions. This exhibition presents works that focus on the diversity nurtured on these islands, and influences from other regions owing to the historical background and context associated with the ocean.

The Timeless Imagination of Yves Klein: Uncertainty and the Immateriality
2022.10.1(Sat.) - 2023.3.5(Sun.)
This exhibition focuses on French artist Yves Klein, who was active in the 1950s and 1960s, in addition to some of his contemporaries from the Italian Spatialism and Japanese Gutai movements as well as contemporary artists, highlighting the theme of immateriality that is common to their art. From the tabula rasa of the devastated postwar period, Yves Klein emerged comet-like, an artist in search of a new humanity. By thoroughly promoting a dematerialization of art that does not rely solely on materials and supports, Klein had a profound influence not only on his contemporaries, but also later generations of artists. Today, we are affected by a myriad of “invisible things” such as climate change, viruses, and the confusion created by the information environment of the internet, and are being confronted by many disasters and divisions amidst the uncertainty of not being able to perceive their true nature. The creative explorations into immateriality by Yves Klein and other innovative artists featured in this exhibition promise to provide us with the imagination needed to overcome the uncertainties we face today.
