What we have here is a gallery whose walls are bare.
Not the typical art exhibition, but then, Akiko Sasaki is not your typical Japanese artist. The Chiba-based painter's abstract, ink-on-paper works are not in the Toki Art Space's exhibition area, but rather in the tiny Jingumae gallery's even-tinier office. Why? Because, Sasaki explains, that's simply the way she wants it.
All right, so maybe the walls are not completely bare, strictly speaking. There are three projectors sitting in the darkened gallery, each throwing images of Sasaki's works onto said walls, where the projections light up in a wash of color. The whole exercise is decidedly low tech, what with the clunking of the machines and less-than-perfect paint job in the gallery, but nonetheless surprisingly effective.
