[Last Chance] Gallery Tour: Erase and See by Sumi Kanazawa
Last chance to join us for a free lunchtime tour related to our exhibition, Erase and See by Sumi Kanazawa, led by Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation staff. The tour focused on a series of works titled, Drawings on Newspapers, and the concepts behind them, along with a new piece derived from these installations. Kanazawa uses a black 10B pencil to obliterate printed words and images in newspapers, except for those that appeal to her, either for a reason or intuitively. The remaining content is thus excised from its context to weave new stories. For Kanazawa, the erasure of context is a liberating experience, pointing up the discrepancy between an individual’s sense of time and that regulated by society. We explored Sumi’s artistic practice, ideas, and inspiration.
