Miya Ando: Mono no aware : Saint Laurent Rive Droite
Past exhibition
Overview
“Mono no aware” is a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept that recognizes the beauty in particularly transitory things; often illustrated with natural phenomena.
Curated by Anthony Vaccarello, Miya Ando’s solo exhibition at Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Los Angeles investigates this idea in her new installation of sculptures, painting and silkscreens. On view is a recreation of the karesansui (dry Zen garden) of Ryōanji Temple in Kyoto. Ando’s version of this historically significant garden consists of 15 shou sugi ban (charred wood) cubes, coated with silver nitrate. Also on view is a monumental cloud painting from her ‘Kumo’ (Clouds) series and a set of silkscreen prints executed with micronized pure silver on paper derived from photographs taken of our galaxy.
