Tetsuya Umeda, Haji Oh
The Tokyo Contemporary Art Award (TCAA) organized by Tokyo Metropolitan Government and TOKAS, is a contemporary art award for mid-career artists. Two artists are selected for each award, and in the second year of a multi-year program of support such as TCAA-funded activities overseas, award exhibitions are held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT). The TCAA 2024-2026 exhibition is held at the MOT featuring Umeda Tetsuya and Oh Haji, the winners of the fifth edition of the award.
The most recent works of Umeda and Oh are incorporating their respective examinations of water-related topics such as sea routes and waterways, as central elements.
Oh’s exhibition mainly revolves around the “Grand-Mother Island Project,” which appeals to visitors’ memories by taking them on a journey around imaginary “islands” connecting the stories and histories of human individuals, while Umeda, who has been visualizing the structures of things through performances that sometimes involve “excursion” like activities, creates new guidelines in the exhibition space that, like divisions between front and back, or marshland between the sea and the mainland, may gently overlap, or be reversed entirely.
