From Nha San Collective:

One of Japan’s most promising young artists, Taihei Kimura creates sculptural installations and performances created by deliberate demolition – vehicles falling from the ceiling, electric motors ripped apart by centrifugal force, bombs exploding inside a transparent resin structure. Puzzling, raw, and honest, his works are not only the result of careful research on architecture and physics, but also an evolving process of experimentation.

Continuing his interest of conversing with the past, tracing the transformation of environment – resource depletion, moreover learning personal and collective memories and history, Taihei Kimura travels to Hanoi, Quang Tri and Quang Ninh for research and filming. His work allows the audience to think of the past remained and contemplate the relationships between human and nature, the contradiction between construction and deconstruction as well as the vulnerability of our every day existence.

Nha San is pleased to invite you to a solo exhibition “Trace The Mountain” by artist Taihei Kimura at 6:00pm, Thursday 17 September 2015 at Nha San’s new space at 1 Lương Yên, 15th floor of HNCC building. The exhibition will present his past works and the new project implemented in Vietnam.

The artist will give an artist talk on his practices on the next day at 4PM same day, Thursday 17th September 2015.

Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE is not a museum, a gallery or an international culture institute where completed work are presented by established artists. Just like Nhà Sàn Studio before, it is a working studio to nurture where artists can create, collaborate, be given advice, critiques, and have chances to meet with international artists, curators. Works that are presented at open studio every month could be finished or not, but the process of developing idea and working to improve the quality of the art work for local artists is what Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE focuses on.
