NSW

Elemental and Correspondence

Ongoing

Art Gallery of NSW

In the lower gallery, the exhibition Elemental investigates the natural elements of earth, water and fire, to which some traditions add wood, metal, void, and wind or air. The works on display illuminate our understanding of each of these elemental groupings, and the vital connections between them.

On the ground level, Correspondence highlights the role of contact, contestation and exchange across geographical and cultural boundaries, revealing connections between people and places which at times result in tension and unrest. See pp4 -7 in the December 2022 issue of the TAASA Review.

Chinese Toggles: Culture in Miniature

Ongoing

Chau Chak Wing Museum, China Gallery

Carved from a diverse range of natural materials to represent figures, plants, animals and everyday objects, these carvings are mostly on loan from the Powerhouse collection, one of the world’s largest collections of Chinese toggles donated to the museum by Hedda and Alastair Morrison.

Mai Nguyen-Long: Kogabịno

21 Oct 2023 – 7 Apr 2024

Mann-Tatlow Gallery, Wollongong Art Gallery

Kôgábịnô is a double mistranslation and sanitised alter-moniker for the recurring motif of Vomit Girl in Nguyễn-Long’s practice. This exhibition explores the messy edges of history, cultural identity, and post-war trauma through more than 150 artworks, objects, and personal artefacts.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Misty Mountain, Shining Moon: Japanese landscape envisioned

29 Jul 2023 – 1 Apr 2024

Art Gallery of South Australia

From the austerity of brush and ink painting to vivid woodblock prints, Misty Mountain, Shining Moon expresses the beauty of the Japanese landscape as represented by some of the world’s most celebrated artists. Presenting works of art made from the 16th century to the present, Misty Mountain, Shining Moon offers an evolving dialogue between artists and nature.

QUEENSLAND

Hiraki Sawa ‘O’

9 Sept 2023 – 17 Mar 2024

GOMA

O  2009 is a subtle reflection on time and motion, travel and dislocation. Having lived between London and Japan, cultural mobility has formed a key reference in Sawa’s work, with his narrative sequences often about journeys into real, subconscious or imagined worlds. In recent years, Sawa’s practice has expanded into elaborate multi-screen installations, enabling him to explore multiple narratives and perspectives. 

International

Delightful Luxury: The Art of Chinese Lacquer

From 17 November

Asian Art Museum, San Francisco

Explores highlights from the museum’s superb collection of Chinese lacquer, including court accessories, scholars’ objects, luxury items and household furniture.

Jegi: Korean Ritual Objects

6 August 2022 – 15 October 2023

Metropolitan Museum, New York

Features the various types of ritual vessels and accessories that were used for performing ancestral rites (jesa) during the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) and entombed, as well as the kinds of musical instruments played at state events. In contemporary Korean society, no longer constrained by prescriptive state rules, jegi inspire contemporary artists and influence the form of everyday tableware.

Living Pictures: Photography in Southeast Asia

2 December 2022 – 20 August 2023

National Gallery, Singapore

Explores the changing roles of photography in Southeast Asia—from its beginnings as a tool of European exploration to the ‘performance’ of studio portraits; from the incomplete realities of war to the rise of fine art; and finally to the memes and selfies that saturate social media today.

Japanese Prints 1860 – 1890

25 May 2022 – 24 July 2023

Fondation Baur, Geneva

This exhibition presents, through three distinct topics, an overview of the great diversity of subjects and styles that characterize Japanese prints of the second half of the 19th century.
