Kotaro Nukaga is pleased to present dual solo exhibitions for two British artists, Annie Morris and Idris Khan, at its Roppongi and Tennoz spaces. Morris works across a wide range of mediums, including sculpture, painting, and tapestry. She is best known for her Stack sculptures comprising stacked, rounded forms of various sizes and colors. This presentation in Tokyo follows on her exhibition at the Fosun Foundation in Shanghai in 2024. Khan is acclaimed for his densely layered photographs, paintings, and sculptures that blur the lines between abstraction and figuration. He draws on diverse cultural sources, including literature, music, and religion, to explore themes of history, memory, and the metaphysical collapse of time into single moments. Khan was awarded the American Architecture Prize in 2017 for his design of the Wahat Al Karama memorial in Abu Dhabi and was recently the subject of a solo exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2024.

Kotaro Nukaga was founded in 2018 as a platform for thought-provoking ideas and daring sociopolitical confrontations. The gallery program employs an interdisciplinary lens that spans diverse cultural and academic fields, approaching art through its historical, cultural, social, scientific, and aesthetic contexts in order to reinterpret the past, gain new perspectives on the present, and imagine possible futures. The gallery seeks to promote its artists’ practices through an understanding of the dynamics of the current art ecosystem while also supporting projects that push beyond existing frameworks. Kotaro Nukaga has two spaces in Tokyo—one in Roppongi, a cultural hub bustling with new ideas, and the other in Tennozu Isle, a location that is currently gaining traction as a new center of contemporary art in the city.
