AOTO Art is pleased to announce its opening in Ashiya.
To mark this new beginning, we present our inaugural exhibition, “The Sound of Beggining.”
The name “AOTO” carries multiple meanings, one of which is the sound “a” – a resonance signifying “beginning.”
This exhibition is an experimental space for art, born from the shared vision of artist Inagaki Tomoko and the Marukawa Collection.
It features works by Inagaki, who operates AOTO, alongside a group exhibition of artists active both domestically and internationally, drawn from the Marukawa Collection—a meticulously curated archive of Japanese photography spanning from pre-war to contemporary times.
Additionally, the chandelier installation by Higashinonna Yuichi, permanently displayed in the entrance, will be unveiled for the first time, bringing fresh vitality to the space.
AOTO Art, themed “Art and Life,” is a place not only for appreciating artworks but also for sparking shifts in daily perspectives.
Every other Sunday, we also offer the “Create Course,” where visitors can participate in making art.
The new artistic current and the “sound of beginnings” starting from Ashiya. We invite you to enjoy this moment of its inception.

Higashionna Yuichi
| Yuichi Higashionna: An introduction—in brief Unlike many of the Japanese artists who made their international debuts in the 1980s and ’90s, Yuichi Higashionna was fresh in having employed none of the stereotypical images—primarily the three Hs (Hinomaru, Hirohito, Hiroshima)—of Japanese PC, focusing instead on invisible, unnoticed aspects of Japanese society. The postwar Japanese middle class had been led to believe that items labeled with the catchy term “fancy goods,” such as the bay windows with lace curtains typical in prefabricated houses, plastic flower arrangements, and pastel-colored housewares, were imported and copied European styles, when in fact these styles and goods were neither European nor fancy, but purely Japanese insofar as they were found exclusively in Japan. “Fancy” was hence a quality of objects that cannot be regarded as copies, but only as simulacra. Thus it might also be said that “fancy goods” reflect an invisible element of Japanese reality. […] Explicitly political art is merely a simplification of real politics, which functions via a micrological, invisible network of power relationships that consistently attempts to maintain a natural and ordinary role in our everyday lives. A politically ideal situation would therefore be achieved when nobody is conscious of the network’s smooth functioning.… Essentially political art deals with naturalized, unconscious politics in its attempt to reveal things invisible. In this respect, Higashionna has been focusing on the implicit politics of Japanese society as he exposes intimate and disgusting simulacra and intervenes in their everyday functioning. […] In recent years, his interests have shifted from purely Japanese to more general contexts, going beyond the locality of Japanese simulacra to explore the full depth of the cultural functions of artistic expression, and especially of optical effects. In short, in this new stage, implicit politics are discovering a new optical art.… Seemingly natural environments are viewed as always implying a certain politics and institutionalism. Higashionna picks up a single quality (such as whiteness) and intensifies and exaggerates it to reveal its implications. He enters a white cube in order to deform it and intervene in its natural functioning. This intensification and exaggeration, intervention and deformation constitute Higashionna’s new optical art, humorously balancing uncanniness with artistic beauty. Excerpts from Minoru Shimizu’s “Fluctuations in White and Black: Yuichi Higashionna’s ‘Light Works’,” in FL gasbook 26 (2022). |
