EXHIBITION

ROSALIND NASHASHIBI: INFINITY POOL

Rosalind Nashashibi’s artistic practice ranges from painting to filmmaking, printmaking, and photography. The different aspects of her practice overlap with and inform each other, with her paintings taking on a filmic quality and her films at times operating in tandem with her other output.

In recent paintings Nashashibi works with motifs referencing literature and theater as well as images conceived in her mind. From a female “punchinella” to prismatic ripples on the surface of a pool, the paintings in “Infinity Pool” shift between solid and liquid, surface and depth—dynamics that, for Nashashibi, are key preoccupations of painting.

Since opening in 1994 Taka Ishii Gallery has developed an exhibition program that introduces international contemporary artists to Japan while providing a global platform for the country’s emerging artists and contemporary masters. While the gallery aesthetic is rooted in the photographic, the program is contemporary and represents artists working in a variety of media. It maintains an annual calendar of eight exhibitions and publishes catalogues and artist books. In addition to its primary exhibition space at complex665, Taka Ishii Gallery has a second venue in Roppongi, amanaTIGP, which focuses on pre- and postwar Japanese photography and film. In 2023 the gallery added branches in Kyoto and Maebashi for hosting collaborative projects with artists and also established a viewing space in Hong Kong.
