Takuro Someya Contemporary Art is pleased to present an exhibition curated by artist Goro Murayama. Organized in conjunction with Murayama’s publication of his lecture series “Theory: Art and Poiesis,” which he presented at the University of Tokyo in 2024–25, the exhibition is grounded in over 15 years of artistic practice and research. Murayama will explore the concept of poiesis through a constellation of related materials, works by other artists, such as Paul Klee and Atsuko Tanaka, and his own works. In particular, he will examine the “production-based knowledge” at the intersection of science, philosophy, and art, with a focus on drawing. Touching on themes ranging from ancient thought to contemporary technology, and from AI to human creativity, the exhibition will highlight the theoretical and practical possibilities of generative and productive acts. In reconsidering creation as a mode of self-formation and collaboration, Murayama’s research also poses fundamental questions about the nature of the self.
