At the same time, the tradition and grace of calligraphy delicately flash through. The artist's oeuvre oscillates between Far Eastern spirituality and Western existentialism. Traces and memories of places and things are her artistic sources, as is the inexorable examination of life in the manner of Marina Abramovic or Rebecca Horn. Here, as there, truth is revealed through experience. The body becomes a medium for art. Shiota herself treads the public stage, at times sleeping in museums. Or her personal destiny finds expression in kinetic sculptures as a turn away from vivid black. In \"animated\" installations, red paint flows through hospital-type tubes, so that the network metaphor ranges from spider webs and interpersonal relationships to neural links and the bloodstream.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book relates to the exhibition: Gervasuti Foundation,  in cooperation with Haunch of Venison, Venice, June 2-September 10, 2011 | Marugame Genichiro Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art, Kagawa, Japan, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionMarkdown Copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionMarkdown Copy\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChiharu Shiota had her first UK solo show ' The Other Side' at Towner in 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionMarkdown Copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionMarkdown Copy\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eOne sealed copy available only - now out of print. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionMarkdown Copy\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\" data-role=\"Contributions by\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContributions by: James Putnam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\" data-role=\"Edited by\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited by: Caroline Stummel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\" data-role=\"Graphic Design\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGraphic Design: Margarethe Hausstätter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\" data-role=\"Text by\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTexts by: Mami Kataoka\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish, Japanese\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJuly 2011, 240 Pages, 315 Photos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e246mm x 306mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row ISBN\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-3-7757-3156-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row ISBN\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher Hatje Cantz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Row ISBN\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eweight 1.6kg HARDBACK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58257091461504,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0468\/2725\/files\/chiharubookcanva_5c0b6668-5c50-453d-9159-a86f8a557b35.png?v=1781277297","url":"https:\/\/shop.townereastbourne.org.uk\/products\/chiharu-shiota-book","provider":"Towner Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
