Yousuke Amemiya: A Q & I

Sep 20, 2023 - Oct 30, 2023
The unusual title, A Q & I, differs significantly from the exhibition鈥檚 Japanese title. Each of the four evenly spaced letters and symbols has its own meaning, but together, their significance is amplified. 鈥淎鈥 is the first letter of the artist鈥檚 family name, Amemiya. The sound of the letter 鈥淨鈥 is present in the Japanese title, and it can also be the shortened form of the word 鈥淨uestion.鈥 鈥&鈥 is a conjunction, equivalent to the hiragana letter 鈥溿仺鈥 in the Japanese title. And, of course, the last letter 鈥淚鈥 indicates 鈥渢he self.鈥 All in all, perhaps an expanded version of the title would be 鈥淎memiya Question and I.鈥 The 鈥淨uestion鈥 that sits between the artist鈥檚 name and 鈥渢he self鈥 suggests a concept explored by Amemiya: 鈥渢o cross a border before you know it.鈥 The title promises that the exhibition will be full of new wonders that are reshaped through scrutinizing, questioning, and examining our mysterious world.
