‘Renovation’ Suchan Kinoshita in Bozar

On 23.04, it finally happened: the opening at Bozar of Renovation, the solo exhibition of our BAP25 laureate Suchan Kinoshita.

Renovation takes as its starting point the antechambers of the Centre for Fine Arts as they stood at the close of the previous exhibition. The artist uses them as the basis to create a new mise-en-scene within the space in which elements already present are transformed and certain spaces that were dormant or invisible to the public are reactivated. Derived from the Italian word ‘anticamera’, the term antechamber generally refers to spaces of introduction, or spaces in which to wait before entering the main rooms of a house. They are also linked to the ‘genkan’, the intermediary space that gives access to the Japanese home, and which is a recurring theme and focus of attention in the artist’s work.
