gallery, the artist will present new work focusing on “demonstration”.
Demonstration has several meanings including actual performing, producing of evidence andproofing itself and it is also the word implying intimidating action. Through seeing act of showcasing works at exhibition as “demonstration”, Takayanagi attempts to face the indicated overt reality.
If demonstration is to proof reality using actual object, what will be performed there, what function
will be revealed and where can we see the substantiation. Takayanagi also questions as what theexhibition and the work can exist with such consciousness.
