Art Front Gallery will present a group exhibition featuring three artists (Yoshitaka Nanjo, Miyuki Takenaka, and Ayako Kuno) selected from the Suzu Theatre Museum, the main facility of the festival curated and directed by Yoshitaka Nanjo, prior to the Oku-Noto Triennale 2023 to be held this year.
This exhibition will offer a new look at how the artists who gathered at Triennale came to perceive the area and discover its possibilities, and how this has influenced their respective subsequent productions.
Miyuki Takenaka is an artist whose main material for expression is light through transparent materials such as resin and film. At the now popular Kabukicho Tower, she was in charge of the main work that decorated the space of the cinema theater. In Suzu, based on the diaries and letters that came out of a house on the occasion of director Fram Kitagawa's "Okurazarae," he created a work of memory of a house while viewing Suzu today through the filter of the viewpoint of an individual who once lived in Suzu. This time, by burning the shadows of the photographs and folk tools he encountered at that time onto 35mm film, he will create a work that records on film the invisible little stories behind each object. I will do so.

My new work has been installed in the 9th and 10th floor lounges of 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku, which opens on 14 April 2023, and in the premium lounge OVERTURE.
I believe that the time spent enjoying movie is a time and space that has as much value to the viewer as the time before and after the movie. I am very happy to be involved in this space while using film work for cinema.

Emitting Glows
Kazuo Amano, Art Critic
Film has a mysterious presence. Our generation is used to loading it into cameras or projectors. Film is a material that you can take in your hands, but at the times time, it has voice and sound recorded on it. As an object, film is just base material coated with emulsion. Transparent and smooth, its physical presence is thin. This differentiates film, plastic and ready for analogue process from other media, such as magnetic tapes, which are effectively black-boxes revealing nothing, or digital media, which are non-concrete and insubstantial. I have encountered Takenaka’s work at various exhibitions, and seen how she deals with the physical presence of film. She used to create lustrous paintings like watercolours, but has now turned to installations made with the material of film.
I’ve always wanted to ask Takenaka what she thought film really meant to contemporary artists. I heard she once worked part-time in a film processing studio. (Apparently, she still places orders with one of the few that continues to operate.) I have not been able to ask about her experience with the images. But interestingly, I do not sense a film maniac in what she makes, nor is there the aura of the cinema buff. Perhaps she has some fondness for film’s physical presence, but her reinterpretations of its materiality seem performed with a sense of distance. She has totally no nostalgia, nor a retrospective view of film as a media representing the past. There is no sign of people residing within the silver screen.
Takenaka’s present installation surrounds the visitor with unrolled film carrying images of shop furniture and tableware. They are not shops she is personally attached to, but ones that have gone out of business because of Covid. Beyond, we see the city streets outside. The work is quite literally reality composed of film, with glass surfaces and moving objects. The experience of viewing is not restricted to this, I feel, for the images assume precision only when brought into focus. Film itself is merely endless, ever-changing prism of colour, casting forms back to us as shadows, drawing us into invisible realms. In fact, her work contrasts with the composite imagery of processed film, which is not really film at all, but light and shadow. With Takenaka’s work, viewers feel suspended between presence and absence, as lights penetrate the spaces of her installation. In this process, how exactly does the installation generate scenes right before our gaze?
Takenaka extracts the essence of film, based on her experiences as former film developer. Some processed images are the result of mistakes, referred to as ‘fog’, while film exposed to direct light can result in transient shadow images. What we see in films is an intricate performance generated from flow and floating by various intensities of light. This intrinsic transparency opens a host of interpretations. Takenaka takes these mysterious qualities and incorporates them into the real world. What kind of slippage will this reveal? I wonder where the glow emitted from her tableaux will ultimately go?
