Ryuji MIYAMOTO
Born in Tokyo in 1947. In 1989, won 14th Kimura Ihei Memorial Photography Prize. In 1996, awarded the Leone dユOro for the Best National Pavilion at the Venice Biennale: 6th International Architecture. In 2005, awarded The Minister of Educationユs 55th Art Encouragement Prize and The 12th Awards for the Promotion of Japanese Arts and Culture. First retrospective show, メRyuji MIYAMOTO Retrospectiveモ, held in 2004 at Setagaya Art Museum, Tokyo; numerous other exhibitions, both in Japan and in overseas, have highlighted his work. Published several books including Kobe 1995 After the Earthquake, which was republished in 2006 as KOBE 1995: The Earthquake Revisited.
From October through November, TARO NASU gallery presents unreleased works by Ryuji Miyamoto.
It can quite easily be said that not a single day passes without the work of the artist Ryuji Miyamoto being on display somewhere in the world. He is the epitome of the busy international artist, and in the last half of this year alone his works have been exhibited in the メBerlin-Tokyo / Tokyo-Berlinモ held at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, in Benesse Art Site Naoshimaユs メThe Standardモ, and as a part of the permanent exhibition of a respected contemporary art museum in Frankfurt to name but a few.
メforgottenモ is a solo exhibition by Miyamoto that introduces previously unreleased works from his early years, works that the artist himself had totally forgotten about up until now.
メThese are photographs that I had forgotten making, literally images I had forgotten to develop or print. Photography is a contrivance to memorize, but there are many pictures that I forgot about after shooting them. Now, finally, I have printed these images that I had left neglected for so long.モ
All prints are black and white 8x10s and were produced prior to the publication of Miyamotoユs Architectural Apocalypse.
