YUKIO FUJIMOTO: BLOOM’S BROOM
Drawing on his training in musicology at Osaka University of Arts, Yukio Fujimoto is known for an artistic practice that seeks to introduce aural elements into spaces that typically privilege visual stimuli. His quietly evocative installations stimulate and challenge the viewer’s senses in novel ways. The centerpiece of this solo exhibition will be the installation Broom (Tile) (2024), for which the artist will cover the gallery floor with 800 unglazed tiles. Viewers will activate the work as they walk across it, causing the tiles to shift, crack, and make sounds. Also on view will be new pieces from the long-running series Sugar (1995–). To make these works, the artist places sugar cubes in a glass tube and spins them, causing the cubes to collide and break apart until they are eventually reduced to white granules.
