Borrowed Time: The Eye That Articulates Belongs on Land, 2016

Jerwood Space, 171 Union Street, Bankside, London SE1 OLN

9 March – 29 April

A moving image installation by Karen Kramer.

“Shot in Shiretoko National Park in the far north of Japan, and within watchful radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor, Karen Kramer’s The Eye That Articulates Belongs on Land offsets beguiling images of unspoilt nature with graphic visual evidence of the ‘re-wilding’ of the landscape around the atomic plant since particular areas became off-limits to human access”.

KEITA MIYAZAKE: Post-Apocalypse

23 Apr 2015 to 1 Jun 2015

Daiwa Foundation, 13/14 Cornwall Terrace (Outer Circle),
London NW1 4QP

‘Keita Miyazaki, a young Japanese artist, works on creating sculpture series and installations which evoke a sense of the post-apocalyptic.

This sculptural series arises from Miyazaki’s observations of modern society. Focusing on the disasters and crises that man-made constructs can bring about (taking the recent global financial crisis and the nuclear meltdown after the Tohoku disaster in 2011 as two examples), Miyazaki started creating a surreal mix of dystopia and utopia in his work.’
