We are pleased to present Mise-en-scène dislocated, an exhibition featuring works by Kosuke Ikeda, Shota Matsui, Yao-Cheng Lee, and Anthony Plasse. This project is organized in collaboration with monade contemporary｜単子現代 and D ARTS, who will present an exhibition of the same title in different configurations.

Minerals and other inorganic materials have, across geological epochs, appeared under various interpretations — tools, resources, ornaments, and works of art — depending on the optics of interpretation optical and conceptual frameworks applied to them. Through two-dimensional works, sculptures, and installations by Ikeda, Matsui, Lee, and Plasse, this exhibition explores the conditions under which inorganic matter may persist as mise-en-scène — scenography or stage setting — across time.

Kosuke Ikeda develops works that question the very mode of existence of things themselves, with a focus on transformations of energy and matter. Shota Matsui combines natural stones with artificial materials such as resin and glass, bringing forth the materiality of each in relation to the other. Yao-Cheng Lee utilizes the reflective qualities of stone to capture landscapes such as skies and mountains within sculpture. Anthony Plasse, meanwhile, seeks to generate painterly spaces through experimental explorations of photographic expression.

We invite you to experience Mise-en-scène dislocated, where minerals and inorganic matter illuminate beyond the constraints of history and geography.
