existence within definite contours

Published for the exhibition Kishio Suga: Existence Between Definite Contours, held at Tomio Koyama Gallery’s spaces in Roppongi, Kyobashi, and Tennoz (July 11 – August 9, 2025).

Existence Between Definite Contours, Suga’s tenth solo exhibition at Tomio Koyama Gallery in the past ten years, presented a broad overview of the artist’s work across the gallery’s three locations. In Kyobashi, Suga exhibited new sculptures and installations. In Roppongi, drawings from the 1970s and 80s and small three-dimensional works from the 1980s through 2000s were on view. The gallery in Tennoz showcased activation videos, photographs, and drawings, as well as a series of works using paste on slate made in the 1990s.

The catalog features a special contribution from Simon Groom, Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, who curated Karla Black & Kishio Suga: A New Order in 2016 and wrote an essay for the catalog of Suga’s solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2015.
