Onishi Hiroshi, Kondo Takahiro and Stephen Gill Group Exhibition. This exhibition follows the lead of 2006’s “Mono-logy (monogaku, study of material things) /Sense-Value Study Group.” This study group, lead by Professor Kamata Toji, the representative of Kyoto University’s “Heart of Future Research Center aims in an attempt to further explore the meaning of “mono.” Onishi and Kondo have been participating in this study group from the viewpoints of artists, and they started up an art section meeting for the intervention area of Mono-logy study and expression practices. In February 2009 in Kyoto, Yamamoto Hozu, Director of Tokyo Gallery + BTAP, conducted a lecture entitled “Mono-ha in 1960-70s’ Japanese Modern Art and Mono-logy” at the first art section meeting. The art section meeting then continues on. In January 2010, the first experimental exhibition “From mono (Materials) to mono (Numina)” was held in Kyoto University Museum. It was the event that Stephen Gill first joined in as an invited artist. Continuing into November, “MONOKEIRO — From Things to Numina” exhibition was held in Kyoto Katei Jogakuin College - Kyohakuin. The concept of “Monokeirokemono” arose from the art section meeting has been a center of an axle in those two exhibitions. Under the influence of Postmodernism, the artists are able to bravely explore the new expression through this concept. In the age of the present, the Premodern, the Modern and the Postmodern, where information is overflowed and the contour of countries, societies and individuals became hard to define, the three artists aim to show these aspects and thus conduct this Third “Monokeirokemono” exhibition.
