IMAMURA Ryosuke × MITSUSHIMA Takayuki―Research Project on the Senses
Any Point “Ｐ” in the Domain of Sensations
15 February (Sat) –11 May (Sun) 2025
Design: SHIBANO Kenta, Artwork：KAWAI Haruna
Artist IMAMURA Ryosuke and blind artist MITSUSHIMA Takayuki will hold an exhibition to report on their research project’s findings related to artwork displays and sensory perception.
Imamura and Mitsushima, artists of different generations with different production styles, began a dialogue around 2022. Looking at shared experiences common to both of them, they take notice of differences in the sensory perceptions they as artists have, and explore the possibilities for creative expression arising from those differences. This exhibition will feature installation works by Imamura, arrayed in three galleries, and touchable relief-like works by Mitsushima, along with other exhibits that viewers can intuitively enjoy. Also featured—a workshop using the two artist’s collaborative work, Tactile Table, and other participatory programs inviting the involvement of guests.
Through sensory perceptions—the change we sense inside us in response to external stimuli—we have contact with the world at large, sensed and perceived by others. This exhibition likens each person’s unique sensory perceptions to the “arbitrary Point P” used in math problems. By experiencing each other’s “Any Point 'P,'” visitors will have opportunity to know the diverse ways the world appears to different people.

IMAMURA Ryosuke

Born in Kyoto Prefecture in 1982. Employing various media including installation, video, painting, and text, IMAMURA Ryosuke examines small events in everyday life and expresses them in forms that act on the viewer’s memory and senses. He first encountered MITSUSHIMA Takayuki through “The Kyoto Archive of Art by People with Disabilities” project (Kyoto Culture and Art Promotion Organization for People with Disabilities) he has been involved in since 2018. Besides his many exhibitions, including the “AJI / DOKORO” exhibition at Kanagawa Kenmin Hall Gallery (Kanagawa Prefecture) in 2023-2024, he has worked in Europe as an artist-in-residence and as an overseas training program participant.

Born in Kyoto Prefecture in 1954. MITSUSHIMA Takayuki lost his sight at the age of ten. While practicing acupuncture for a living, he has explored new expressive methods for communicating his own physical sensations. In addition to “touchable paintings” using tape and cutting sheets, he employs other original methods of his own, such as “tactile collages”* and “nail series.” In 2020, he opened studio “Atelier MITSUSHIMA” as a base for exploring new approaches to barriers. Mitsushima’s many exhibitions include "MOT Satellite 2019 Wandering, Mapping” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Tokyo), 2019).
*By touching materials that combine various textures, viewers can discover the world that Mitsushima feels.
