Henri Matisse - Forms in Freedom

Universal / RemoteFebruary 14 (Wed.) - May 27 (Mon.)

March 6 (Wed.) - June 3 (Mon.)

Special Exhibition Gallery 2E

In Nice, where he spent most of the latter half of his life, Henri Matisse produced theseries known as Cut-Outs, in which he used scissors to cut shapes out of colorfully
painted paper and pasted them onto other sheets of paper. This exhibition will feature
works primarily from the collection of the Musée Matisse Nice, France, including
paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, with a focus on Cut-Outs such as Flowers
and Fruits. The exhibition will also focus on the Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence (often
referred to as the Vence Chapel), which was built in Matisse’s final years, and will
present aspects of this masterwork ranging from architecture to interior decorationand ceremonial dress.

Special Exhibition Gallery 1E

This exhibition will feature contemporary art that explores diverse phenomena
relating to the nature of society and our lives and work within it, which thepandemic has prompted us to reflect on anew. It reinterprets existing themes incontemporary art, such as global capitalism and the digitalization of society, fromtwo perspectives: the global scale of “pan-“ (i.e. “universal”) and the non-faceto-face “remote” interaction to which we have become accustomed. Conveying
comical aspects of the excesses of surveillance and advanced technology, as wellas the profound isolation of human beings inside high-tech networks, works in thisexhibition grapple head-on with the current era and with the post-COVID world.

Special Exhibition Gallery 2E

A collaborative exhibition between paintings by mostly New York painters and Ei Arakawa-Nashsince the 2000s. By continuously working with others, the artist reconfigures the subjective “I.”The group performances within which Arakawa-Nash works emphasize and derive from the everpresent precarity of artworks. A stroke becomes a scenario, a canvas becomes an actor, and color
becomes a chant. His disruptive performances transform the audience’s relationship with painting.
