Satoshi Hashimoto NIGHT - TIME = DARKNESS

HANS & FRITZ CONTEMPORARY is pleased to present the exhibi- tion NIGHT-TIME = DARKNESS by the artist SATOSHI HASHIMOTO. Hashimoto is currently one of Japan’s most ‘alarming’ artists, producing works of art in the form of performances, actions, and instructions aimed at inducing the viewers’ into questioning their role in experiencing art. In the experience of art appreciation, we have acquired the habit of playing the role of an art viewer, which is allocated as one part of the structure of artist-artwork-viewer. Generally, we cannot bring personal feelings and pri- vate affairs into an art gallery because we must try to interpret the artwork

  • bjectivity and correctly. Exploring what he calls fuka, a term pointing to

a sense of suspense, risk and pressure, Hashimoto disrupts this structure. In an art exhibition, viewers are not only infmuenced by the artwork and ven- ue but are also signifjcantly infmuenced by the viewers themselves. The viewers are not transparent existences in the exhibition space. At times, they are even more real and active than the actual artworks and have the potential to cause something to happen inadvertently. One can go fur- ther and say that the venue exists to install viewers rather than artwork, and that the artworks act as assistants to produce the performance. Offering a way out of an “art of the everyday”, Hashimoto’s some- times—unreasonable instructions and micro-actions freely tran- scend any borders, posing a question to our principle of existence.

Hashimoto has created a lot of art through which he involves viewers and questions their role in the experience of art appreciation in the form of performances, actions, and instructions aimed at inducing the viewers’ own reactions. His sometimes unreasonable instructions and his actions that freely transcend any borders pose questions regarding

  • ur principles of existence. We usually think, speak, and act as if our

actions are entirely the result of our own free will while, in fact, these behaviors are fundamentally infmuenced by someone or something.
