At first glance, his works possess a pop, catchy aesthetic that feels intimately woven into our daily lives. Yet, emerging from these hollow forms are the afterimages of &#8220;consumption&#8221;\u2014an act we repeat every single day.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">As the exhibition title &#8220;Trace&#8221; (Kehai) suggests, there is no physical &#8220;object&#8221; present. Instead, the stitched works harbor the vestiges of someone having once touched, consumed, and lived alongside these items. When packaging, originally intended to be consumed as a mere symbol, loses its function and transforms into an accumulation of thread, it begins to take on a sense of agency, as if posing a question to the viewer.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">This exhibition marks the artist&#8217;s first solo show. As the delicate lines spun from thread overlap with the &#8220;trace&#8221; lingering around them, each viewer will surely find themselves moved by something hidden just beneath the surface of the everyday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">I sew the traces of memories that were never recorded.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Objects are consumed, used, and eventually let go.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Their forms remain within the system as blueprints or designs.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Yet, the sensations of touching them, the memories tied to them\u2014these are preserved nowhere.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">What I sew are the things that did not remain.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">When I stitch the structure of an object that has outlived its function using only thread,<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">its original role is lost, and only the form remains in the space.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">There, the faint traces of the bodies that once touched it<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">linger faintly.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Eventually, even the form may be lost,<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">and the outlines may unravel.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">Even after losing its concreteness, a slight trace continues to drift.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">It is memory in its formless state.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">This exhibition, &#8220;Trace&#8221; (Kehai),<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">stitches these remnants, those not preserved by the system,<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">into the space.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u83c5\u91ce\u6e67\u5df1\uff5cWakumi Kanno<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u3010Information\u3011<\/p>\n<p>Wakumi Kanno\u3000Solo Exhibition\u300cTrace\u300d<\/p>\n<p>Location\uff1abiscuit gallery\uff08Shinjuku\uff09<br \/>\nExhibition Period: Saturday, April 11 \u2013 Sunday, April 19, 2026<br \/>\nHours: 1:00 PM \u2013 7:00 PM\u3000closed (Mondays and Tuesdays)<br \/>\nSaturday, April 11, 5:00 PM \u2013 8:00 PM<br \/>\nThe artist will be at the gallery on April 11,12,18, and 19<br \/>\nAdmission\uff1afree<br \/>\nOrganizer\uff1abiscuit gallery<br \/>\nNote: Please contact the gallery for inquiries about the artwork.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>biscuit gallery (Shinjuku) is pleased to announce the opening of &#8220;Trace&#8221; (Kehai), the first solo exhibition by contemporary artist Wakumi Kanno, starting Saturday, April 11, 2026.
