Cross-Cultural Partnerships and Environmental Engagement by the late Chris Wainwright with Yusaku Imamura

This talk was given by the late Chris Wainwright and Yusaku Imamura, Director, Tokyo Wonder Site. It explored some existing models of cultural co-operation primarily between the UK and Japan and also explored the need to find new models and approaches to some of the pressing issues of our time such as the increasingly urgent need for a creative response to climate change and environmental issues. Within this context, the talk investigated the role of artists and how they can make a positive contribution individually and collectively to our rapidly changing global environment.

A Catalogue of Errors by Chris Wainwright

The late Chris Wainwright worked with semaphore as a semi-obsolete signalling system for a number of years, incorporating it into a series of photographic performances and actions. These works were made at night and sited adjacent to places which had experienced natural disasters or at environmentally fragile sites caused by human intervention and exploitation. Much of the work in the exhibition was made in the Tohoku Region of Japan prior to and after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.

Winnebago, Carpet, Onsen, Potter by Peter McDonald

Peter McDonald depicts colourful scenes inhabited by people engaged in everyday activities. Images of teachers, artists, hairdressers or carpet sellers are constructed with an elementary graphic language. By making use of archetypes, symbolism and our incorrigible tendency to make the strange seem more familiar, McDonald’s alternative world reads like a parallel universe.

Excavated Reverberations by Hiraku Suzuki

In Hiraku Suzuki’s practice, drawing is expanded from a primitive method of expression into a contemporary technique of reflection and transformation. Associating the act of drawing with the process of ‘excavation’ reveals memories and unknowns present within our daily life. He perceives paper surfaces as excavation sites, carefully inscribing the moment when the different dimensions of time and space are generated from a limited two-dimensional phase. His recent drawings, in which he repeatedly uses light reflective materials such as silver marker and spray paint, shift their visibility according to the viewers’ perspective, creating resonance with the immediate environment.
