As a new initiative to create a place for expression on a larger scale, not bound by the framework of conventional art fairs, the exhibition project “Infinity” will be held, specializing in large-scale installation works. It will offer huge three-dimensional works and immersive spatial presentations. You can experience “art that you can feel with your body” that goes beyond the framework of conventional art fairs.<\/p>\n","address":false,"email":false,"tel":"","web":false,"sns":false,"booth\u2010number":"","facebook_user_name":"","gallery-artwork":"","external_exibhitor_id":"fafd1443-02d3-4531-8fd4-07db0c1750e4","artists":[12378,12380,12382,12384],"artworks":"","curation":{"position":"","curators_name":"","curators_profile":"","curators_img":false},"exhibitor_time_table":{"25th":false,"26th":false,"27th":false,"28th":false},"infinity":[{"gallery":"NANJO ART","artworks-statement":"

\nIn December 1950, the \u014cmura Immigration Detention Center (now the \u014cmura Immigration Bureau) was established in \u014cmura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, to deport Koreans and other individuals labeled as “illegal immigrants.” Among those detained were people affected by the aftermath of colonial rule as well as former prisoners. Those from former colonies who had once been regarded as “Japanese subjects” during the colonial period were reclassified as an “inner outsiders” with the enactment of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, and were forced into precarious and complex positions. Furthermore, the division of the Korean peninsula had repercussions inside the detention center, where conflicts and rifts reportedly arose depending on political allegiances.
\nThis land is also said to be the place where tigers brought back from the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592\u20131598) were released, and it came to be called H\u014dk\u014dbaru (“Field of Released Tigers”). Although no historical records remain, the legend of the released tigers\u2014tied to the later establishment of a detention facility for Koreans on the same site\u2014stimulates a powerful imagination.
\nNearby, Arita in Saga Prefecture is known as one of Japan’s most important ceramic production centers. Its origins date back to the invasions of Korea, when potters brought from the peninsula laid its foundations. Among them, Yi Sam-pyeong is celebrated as the progenitor of Arita ware, and his cultural legacy endures to this day. Between \u014cmura and Arita, the layered history of migration, settlement, and the transmission of skills and culture is deeply inscribed.
\nDuring my stay in Korea, I received a notice of compulsory military service from the Military Manpower Administration, which forced me to return to Japan. The Zainichi Korean community has always been demarcated by national borders, compelled to move, and treated as “out of place.” This condition is not confined to the past; it persists today and will continue to recur in the future.
\nThe ceramics I have created for this project are based on ceramic hand grenades produced in Arita in 1944. These were developed as substitutes in response to a shortage of iron, but are said never to have been used in combat due to their lack of lethality. I regard this ceramic grenade as a symbolic motif connecting culture and war, and I link it to my own existence, which has always wavered along borders.
\nA “boundary” may appear fixed, yet in reality it is ambiguous and shifts depending on one’s standpoint or perspective. Such ambiguity and the experience of being treated as “out of place” may seem negative, but for me they have become opportunities to think, to learn, and to seek new perspectives. I believe art, too, does not provide clear-cut answers, but rather embraces ambiguity and open spaces, creating a site for thought in the mind of the viewer.
\nOMURA-yaki marginal is an attempt to reconsider the tremors and frictions that arise when living on a boundary. I hope this work will encourage viewers to re-examine the everyday and the familiar from a different perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n","artwork":31104,"map_display":{"ID":47064,"id":47064,"title":"Infinity3","filename":"Infinity3-2.jpg","filesize":161186,"url":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/en\/exhibitors\/infinity\/attachment\/infinity3-3\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"infinity3-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":11967,"date":"2025-09-23 16:53:23","modified":"2025-09-23 16:53:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2400,"height":1250,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-300x156.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":156,"medium_large":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-768x400.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":400,"large":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-1024x533.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":533,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-1536x800.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":800,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-2-2048x1067.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1067}},"map_download":{"ID":47065,"id":47065,"title":"Infinity3","filename":"Infinity3-3.jpg","filesize":242494,"url":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/en\/exhibitors\/infinity\/attachment\/infinity3-4\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"infinity3-4","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":11967,"date":"2025-09-23 16:53:45","modified":"2025-09-23 16:53:45","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1581,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-300x185.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":185,"medium_large":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-768x474.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":474,"large":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-1024x632.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":632,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-1536x949.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":949,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/2025.artfair.asia\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Infinity3-3-2048x1265.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1265}}},{"gallery":"MONONOAharewo","artworks-statement":"
\nIn 1917, Marcel Duchamp signed a men’s urinal “R. Mutt” and presented it as Fountain, overturning the very concept of art. For more than a century since, this strategy of transforming the ordinary into art has been inherited by countless artists.
\nThis work, too, stands within that lineage. Yet it is not simply about “displaying something purchased.”
\nIn the exhibition space, multiple miniature cars are placed within acrylic cases.
\nHalf of them are titled The Used.
\nThese are F1 miniature cars produced in late-1980s to early-1990s Japan\u2014during the so-called bubble economy. Children of the time eagerly collected them and played endlessly at friends’ houses, in parks, and on the stairwells of apartment blocks. As a result, these cars are now worn down, battered, and scarred.
\nThe Used are not “readymades” in the traditional sense, but rather “ready-used.” Their accumulated scratches and damage echo the lives of adults today, marked and shaped by years of use.
\nThe other half are titled The Future.
\nThese are the miniature cars that children of today hold in their hands\u2014vehicles of a wholly different kind: police cars, garbage trucks, long-haul trucks, taxis, bulldozers.
\nThey reflect not the former values of “speed” or “winning and losing,” but instead the diverse roles, functions, and imaginations that children now encounter. They embody a shift toward values rooted in supporting daily life and contributing to society, reminding us of the expectations and realities that define the lives of today’s youth.
\nThese toys are, in fact, projections of what will soon be delivered into children’s hands: their future selves.
