ANSELM KIEFER | Solo show "SOLARIS" | Nijo Castle, Kyoto
Curated by Fumio Nanjo, former director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, the exhibition unfolds across the buildings and gardens of Kyoto’s historic Nijo Castle. Featuring new and recent works by Anselm Kiefer, including paintings and sculptures, the project establishes a dialogue between the German artist’s practice and the traditional arts, craftsmanship, and architecture of both the castle and the city of Kyoto. As Kiefer reflects: “The utilitarian use of gold as a source of reflected illumination at Nijo Castle is a revelation to me. The confluence of aesthetics and political power on this site, and the historical cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth, echoes my own consciousness.”
