Miwa Yanagi – Windswept Women. The Old Girl´s Troupe

 

Februar 27 – April 17, 2010 

 

Loock Galerie is pleased to present, following a 2004 exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim, the work with which Miwa Yanagi represented Japan at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009: "Windswept Women: The Old Girls' Troupe."

Since the mid-1990s, Miwa Yanagi’s photographs and videos have focused on images of women. It began with "Elevator Girls", in which groups of young women in department store uniforms populated the scenery of shopping centers, underwater aquariums, subway tunnels, and architectural firms, and continued with her "My Grandmothers" series, in which she made individual leaps in time of fifty years. Now "Windswept Women" takes up the thread of her "Fairy Tales" series (2004-2008), in which she reinterpreted in her own way the relationship between grandmother and granddaughter in European fairy tales.

"Windswept Women" consists of five monstrous giants of different ages in elaborately ornamented picture frames, standing freely in the room like a collection of portraits of family members. The overwhelming size of the works, which are more than four meters tall, all but shrinks the viewer; ordi

The exhibition was planned long before the devastating March earthquake and tsunami. But artists are often prescient, and it had become apparent for some time to younger artists that the era of kawaii (which means cute in Japanese) was over. Hello Kitty had exemplified the cartoonish charm and cult of youth exported by Japan. For years its smiley faces, childish penmanship, and soft, cuddly toys had pervaded international media. In the United States it attained an iconic level when a Hello Kitty balloon was added to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, in 2007.

The 16 artists in the current show—mostly young, a few midcareer, eight of whom are women—have no patience forkawaii. They were born between 1959 and 1983, and for them, the image of Japan as childlike and exotic, a land of fantasy and escapism, was punctured along with the severe recession that started after the 1986-91 economic bubble.

These artists go beyond phenomenally popular manga and anime imagery and use their bitter knowledge and awareness of the failure of extreme materialism in their country to grapple with tough issues. While it is frightening to see how well these artists forecast the disasters that have recently befallen their country, a show like this fosters hope. Knowledge, coming to terms with re
