In this BAPC group show, I will exhibit a few images from my new series 6 Feet Apart.

6 Feet Apart #2982
6 Feet Apart #3054
6 Feet Apart #5777

6 Feet Apart #0579
6 Feet Apart #6758

Artists Statement: This typology investigates the ubiquitous ground markers directing people standing in line to keep 6 feet apart to prevent the spread of Covid-19. These markers are often just a single piece of tape adhered to concrete and distressed from months of being stepped on. Read More.

Curator’s Statement: For three years now COVID has directly affected our lives. Initially, it forced us to stay indoors and to treat our normal world with fear and dread. Now that the disease is more normalized, and we feel more confident to resume social activity, how do we conceive of the world outside? How has this recent history, our new fear of this disease, affected our lives and our perceptions? These are some responses.

This is a great exhibit, outdoors in a shrine. I’m actually really glad I got to see it in the rain. This is a 13 minute long tour showing the whole exhibit and a little bonus exhibit next-door. This is a mostly Korean group of photographers, it’s a Korean photo festival that is participating in this Japanese photo festival. @kgplus @yukiiwanami @yipf_official

Everything in this garden was so beautifully done. It’s kind of crazy and I know how much work it is to keep things so simple and clean. Built in 1610. You have to reserve an advance and you have to take a tour and the tour guide was pretty stiff. I do really wish I could just walk around and sit and quietly enjoy this garden, but I’m grateful I got to see it.
Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show sponsored by a French champagne brand. This is the fifth year they have sponsored a show for the festival. 
@sarishibat  is the artist - the work comes out of a residency done on the champagne grape farm in 🇫🇷.

The exhibition title Dotok Days derives from dotoku (literally “virtue of the soil”), a term used by Sōetsu Yanagi , founder of the Mingei movement, to describe the spiritual climate of Nanto. It means knowing that one cannot live without mutual support. It means entrusting oneself to a force far greater than anything one could plan. It means that the labours and prayers of unnamed people accumulate in the land, quietly supporting daily life from beneath.
OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like th OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like this exhibition of photos of famous people but the very first person was siouxsie Sue, who is my favorite - and that won me over. Of course the venue is so beautiful and the video of him talking about his work is very modest and heartfelt.

This is such a great exhibition and well worth the This is such a great exhibition and well worth the short trip slightly out of the center of town so check it out. There’s two artists, including the amazing Tamaki, who has been such an inspiration for me in how she has perfected the art of  photographic installation. Here is an image showing the blackbear photos hidden in a nest of distressed wood. It’s a little hard to capture it in a photograph, but I really enjoyed it and the book and interactive elements were also very beautiful. In the show upstairs is a lovingly rendered meditation on Alzheimer’s and long-term care. Curated by the amazing community builder @yumigoto @remindersphotographystronghold

Tamaki Yoshida, Kazuhiko Matsumura
Threshold: Images in Flux
“Threshold: Images in Flux” presents a dialogue in artistic expression between Tamaki Yoshida and Kazuhiko Matsumura, each exploring distinct realms through their work. Yoshida’s gaze lingers on the borders between wild animals and human society, attending to traces and fragments found in the liminal space between life and death. Matsumura, on the other hand, explores not only dementia itself but also the histories of families and individuals affected by it, the relationships and connections that emerge from these experiences, and is currently continuing his fieldwork on end-of-life care.
