Interview: Nobuaki Takekawa
Ota Fine Arts Shanghai presents Japanese artist Nobuaki Takekawa (b.1977)'s second solo exhibition in China "idling garden". Takekawa’s cat Olympics themed solo exhibition at Ota Fine Arts Shanghai in 2017 remains fresh and memorable in audiences’ minds. This new exhibition aims to demonstrate the depth and breadth of Takekawa’s artistic language. By showcasing his creative practice over the past few years, we are privy to his versatility and broad approach in communicating social issues and phenomenon.
With the ongoing global health pandemic, individuals, collectives and society at large are in an "idling state": the accelerator is not stepped on, yet engines are continually running at low speeds. On this occasion, we had a conversation with Nobuaki Takekawa about what he has been up to recently and his personal experience amidst Covid19 in Japan.
