About this Event
Join us to hear live music by renowned Japanese due renowned duo Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeishi that was inspired by , a solo exhibition featuring new work by artist .
Following the performance, Kyoko Sato, a New York-based curator and Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Japan Contemporaries, will moderated an art discussion with Sugarwara-Beda about her brand-new body of work, KuroKuroShiro+, which she began in early 2024 with the invitation to artistically respond to Palo Duro Canyon in west Texas, the second largest canyon in the US. Multiple visits to the canyon allowed her to touch, feel, and extract materials from the canyon system and created this series of work that incorporated the materials from Texas.
Sugawara-Beda collaborated with New York-based composer, pianist, and accordionist, Shoko Nagai, who created two pieces of music after visiting the canyon with Sugawara-Beda. Springboarded from this experience, Scale and Tonality explores how the titular themes intersect in both the visual and aural realms.
Ultimately, this exhibition explores the relationship between scales and tonalites across music and painting through the materials the artist has harvested and collected from her current home state, Texas, and her native country, Japan.
