Editor's Note

This is part of the “貼” series of solo exhibition of Shinro Ohtake which has been held at Take Ninagawa since 2008. It is the first time for the series to be held in 2009. As shown in the title of the exhibition, Ohtake’s creations are characteristics in that they are made by “pasting (貼)” printed materials, paints or other things which look like even garbage. Nevertheless, his works show that “pasting (貼)” is not an only method to be used in his creations. In other words, although, apparently his works seem to have been created by pasting various kinds of materials randomly, there is some looseness on picture planes, which allows viewers to find some different images in his works simultaneously. This must be the reason he has succeeded in creating new and vivid impressions of his works, without evoking for us their nostalgic and introspective images. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
