honda takeshi, artist-in-residence


Honda Takeshi, my former neighbor in Tono, sent this striking flyer for Genshono shozo (Primeval portraits), a three-person exhibition from July 25 to August 23 at the Aomori Contemporary Art Centre. Honda was one of three artists-in-residence at the centre this spring; the others were Taiwanese-American Hung Su-Chen and South Korean Yook Keun-Byung. The flyer shows a work by Hung Su-chen. All those needles and red threads are compelling.
