This exhibition is expected to be the first solo presentation by the artist in Japan in the last 7 years after 2004.

UJINO extends his longtime “research on material world” as he calls, and will present two new series as well as several new works from the acclaimed project The Rotators.

For the new project, UJINO creates a series of panel and sculptural pieces by combining decorative components like truck lamps that reflect the imagery of American culture, and mass products from Japan’s so-called“modernization” period under the influence of the United States. The exhibition will also include an installation that the artist constructs as an alternative natural environment by integrating plant motives found on post-war American and Japanese consumer products.
