VENUES

THE CLUB was founded by Yukako Yamashita in 2017 and is dedicated to presenting international contemporary artists whose work is rarely seen in Japan. THE CLUB focuses on organizing group and solo exhibitions, but also offers private sales and art advisory services.

Located in Ginza, the center of culture and commerce in Tokyo, THE CLUB aims to bridge the eastern and western worlds, bolstering interest in artists from across the globe. THE CLUB hopes to fulfill its role as a crossing point between East and West, and hopes to become a place to discover, discuss, and enjoy art in all its wonders.

THE CLUB is pleased to present Pierre-Elie de Pibrac’s solo exhibition “Catharsis,” featuring one part of his three-part series of work titled “In Situ.” The show will reflect the artist’s personal and abstract approach to dance.

“Employing a new vision and technique, I attempted to capture the energy radiated by the dancers during their performances and its diffusion into the surrounding space. Each ballet imbued me with strong emotions, urges, apprehensions, and fantasies that I tried to transpose into photographic thoughts, like childhood memories. The result is powerful images that, through their distortion and natural abstraction, tell other stories. Thus, when looking at these photographs, the observer is permeated by the energy and emotion that they transmit, and left free to interpret them on a personal level.” —Pierre-Elie de Pibrac
