Hiroshi Sugimoto
On view in the Van Deren Coke Gallery, February 10 to May 26, 2012
HIROSHI SUGIMOTO is the first one-person exhibition in New Mexico of this internationally acclaimed master of photography. Organized by museum director, E. Luanne McKinnon, the show provides a focused overview of five of Mr. Sugimoto’s (b. 1948, Tokyo, Japan) best-known projects which emphasize the characteristics of time, light, space, movement + form – the very nature of reality itself.
Selected works will be on view in the Van Deren Coke Gallery including the “Dioramas,” photographed in exquisite life-like detail at natural history and other museums; “Seascapes”, timeless vistas of air and water photographed at oceans from around the world; “Theatres,” for which he set the exposure time of his camera to the entire length of the film that was being shown; “Lightning Fields,” produced in the studio from experiments with electricity; and, “Mechanical Forms,” exquisitely detailed 19th century tools, the choice of which was highly influenced by the artist’s interest in Marcel Duchamp’s The Large Glass (1915-1923). The exhibition has been organized with the generous cooperation of the Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco and courtesy of the artist.
