    Artists
    Shinji Wakasa, Shingo Okazaki
    Sound artist Shinji Wakasa and artist Shingo Okazaki will hold a joint exhibition. In the first half of the exhibition, both artists will give a live performance and actually collaborate with each other at the venue. The second half of the exhibition will be a video installation.

    The two artists have been friends for several years, and have long wished to collaborate on something, and fortunately, the gallery took over this project. From the beginning of the project, it was planned to be a work that combined painting and sound, however, not an installation simply inserting sound into the exhibition space. Therefore, Wakasa attempted to improvise sound while witnessing Okazaki's paintings. Throughout the exhibition hall, there will be countless speakers installed to play five songs of their collaboration.

    Visitors are invited to reassemble the deconstructed sound sources in their imagination while experiencing the works.

    * Applications for the live performance to be held on the first day have ended.

about

This is a collaborative work of sound and painting by sound artist Shinji Wakasa and artist Shingo Okazaki. Each track and artwork are closely linked, with the paintings inspiring the sounds and the sounds inspiring the paintings, and the paintings inspiring each other.

The CD, download code, and artwork are included in an LP-sized jacket. Limited to 500 copies; bandcamp will sell a limited edition of 10 copies.

Shingo Okazaki is in action before my eyes.
Drawing or sticking things, rather
This was all started with two pieces on the wall being scribbled impulse unfolding above the paper
scratching. scrapping and beating with love
Sound of Shinji Wakasa interacting movements wandering around connecting and onlooking at distance at times
Kids smashing pieces of charcoal
mixing with water then smashing again
mixing and smashing
sinking their cherished treasures to the bottom.
