▼Artist Profile

Okawa Yuki

Graduated from Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music in 2012. She creates three-dimensional works using old clothes and cloth as the materials with traces of time and memories of life closest to the body. The “form” of a new memory that no one knows, which connects someone’s memory with someone else’s memory on its own. In recent years, he has participated in art festivals and artist-in-residence programs, and is currently exploring ways to develop his expression using local history and festivals as motifs!

Museum on Echigo-Tsumari, MonET special exhibition"The answer is blowin' in the wind"

In the summer of 2025, the MonET corridor will host a special exhibition under the direction of BankART1929.
The MonET corridor, designed by Hiroshi Hara, stands in the midst of the overwhelming natural beauty of Tsumari, and the architecture surrounds a symbol of nature called a "pond.
In this exhibition, a variety of artworks that feel “wind” will be placed around the pond (water), creating a unified space
that resonates like an orchestra, including the architecture itself. Akinori Matsumoto's sound objects will resonate cool sounds throughout the building, while Tatsuji Ushijima's works will spin and rotate with the wind. Aiko Yamamoto's fabrics, which are
carried by the air currents, are eventually covered with the colors of plants and trees, while Hiroji Ihara's sculptures, which represent the cycles of animals and other living creatures, move forward in the wind.
The wind connects us to the unseen: time, change, signs, memories, emotions, and the unseen future. We invite you to spend a moment in this space and experience various kinds of “wind”. Workshops by participating artists will also be held.
