Kazuaki Harada exhibition “The more you speak, the shorter it becomes” held
2020.06.02
B GALLERY will be holding an exhibition by Kazuaki Harada for the first time. In this exhibition entitled ``The more you speak, the shorter you speak'', in addition to past automaton works published in the book with the same title published last year, new works that will be shown for the first time at this exhibition will be exhibited and sold. .
In 2002, Harada began producing automata, which are said to have been made in Europe since the 12th century. While attending graduate school in the UK in 2006, he gained experience under Matt Smith, a leading expert on automata, and developed a unique worldview. The appeal of Harada's automata is that they are not only meticulously crafted without cutting any corners, but also full of free ideas and humor born from social aspects, and are a unique form of expression that cannot be followed by others. It becomes.
Please look forward to the latest exhibition by Kazuaki Harada, who is currently one of the most popular automata artists in Japan and abroad.
