by photo: Japan exhibition
Perhaps you remember my earlier post about our Art Institute group’s print exhibition in Japan? Here is a screen shot of the installation at the B-Gallery in Tokyo. My piece Fragments IV is second from the left. I can hardly wait to hear reports and see more photos from the artists who were present at the exhibition opening!
Added later: Here are more photos of our exhibition.

Congratulations, it looks like an interesting and varied exhibition. Such big clear light spaces containing art fill me with longing…
Oh, how very exciting to see your work hanging in Tokyo! Like seeing one’s child off having fun far away, no? It is a beautiful piece. And interesting to see it with other pieces so you can get an idea of how large it is, because it seemed smaller on the blog page with no point of reference. Really lovely.
Lucy, thanks, I think it is an exciting exhibition and the space looks lovely – wish I could see more of it.
Leslee, I always say my art works travel more than I do, and have been places I’ve never seen! I’m glad you like it. Did you happen to see the photos of it and a companion piece in this show?
It looks lovely. I like the grouping in this shot. It is interesting that the prints are hanging unframed rather like the norm for contemporary shows of digital photography these days. Is this the norm now with prints too, or are the prints all digital?
I think it is fascinating when a part of oneself goes out to meet the minds of distant folks and different cultures.
Olga, not all of the pieces in the exhibition are digital (you can only see a few of them in this photo). To save on framing costs, especially when sending overseas, it was arranged to have it hung unframed, using magnets. We have been doing this even in shows locally, such as the one I linked to in the comment to Leslee.
Yes, it is a wonderful cultural and artistic exchange when we can share our work this way. I look forward to the Japanese works coming our way in the fall.
It’s such a beautiful piece it would be impossible for me not to recognize it. Yes, your artwork is very lucky to be out there seeing the world and having the world look back at it.
Susan, you are so kind, thanks. And yes to my work being lucky to travel. Wouldn’t it be great if it would come back and tell me all kinds of stories about what and who it saw and heard? 🙂
Oh excellent! Thanks for pointing out the earlier exhibition. I’d missed it.
