The Borderline: Enlightenment x Towa Tei by Ami Kealoha
An exhibition of new lithographs by Enlightenment's Hiro Sugiyama opens tomorrow, 26 May 2007, at the highly–acclaimed Hiromi Yoshii gallery in Kiyosumi, Tokyo.
Sugiyama's lithographs are a wonderfully fresh reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese Hanga prints, with a subject matter far from the traditional. His lithographs include abstract colorful pieces as well as human skulls and imagined modern-day tribe portraits (pictured). Sugiyama works mainly as a fine artist, but his work is also featured on several CD covers and in commercials.
The exhibition will also feature an limited edition CD by DJ Towa Tei and one or two art installations.

Deviate
Featuring work by artists who are "altering materials and repurposing objects that prompt viewers to investigate the act of looking and perceiving," the unifying theme behind the impending group exhibition "Deviate" may be a little broad but it makes for a show that speaks to CH's penchant for the obsessively subversive. The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...
