Sayaka Murata’s Utopias – Violence and the Structure of Normality David Shrigley & Teppei Kaneuji in dialogue with Murata’s worldview
GYRE, Tokyo, Japan
This exhibition brings the work of Japanese novelist Sayaka Murata, winner of the Akutagawa Prize for 'Convenience Store Woman', 2016 in dialogue with that of two contemporary artists, David Shrigley and Teppei Kaneuji. The show presents new works on paper by Shrigley that resonate with Murata’s distinctive world. Together, he and Kaneuji explore the underbelly of everyday life and interrogate what constitutes utopic and dystopic visions.
