Each Modern 亞紀畫廊很高興地宣布，「Shohei Takasaki：Looking at Debris Sideways 側視碎片」將於 2024 年 1 月 2 日開幕。展覽的名稱「Debris Sideways」本身就寓意著一種獨特的視角，是對經常被忽視或丟棄的碎片的一種側視。
在創作此次展覽作品時，Takasaki從跨越不同時代、類別的廣泛來源中汲取靈感。藝術史的重要性處於次要地位；相反，重點在於這些參考資料所提供的純粹視覺滿足感。通過將這些圖像從其背景和故事中剝離出來，Takasaki將自己與這些圖像的互動純粹化為一種審美參與，試圖繞過智力的思考過程，卻與自己內心的驅動本能相連繫。儘管不考慮圖像的背景和歷史而引用圖像，這種想法可能是危險或不尊重的，但Takasaki仍敏銳意識到自己在藝術史中的位置—事實上，這也許正是他能夠超越藝術史束縛的原因；他的作品之所以吸引人，就在於他能夠從藝術史的過渡和革命中汲取能量，並通過自己的手加以引導，這種不可預測性，是他接受「過去」與「現在」的一種表現。
Each Modern is delighted to announce that Shohei Takasaki: Looking at Debris Sideways will be held from 2 January 2024. The title of the exhibition itself suggests a unique perspective, a sideways glance at the often overlooked or discarded.
In creating the pieces for this exhibition, Takasaki drew inspiration from a wide range of sources spanning diverse eras and categories. The importance of art history took a secondary role; rather, the emphasis was placed on the purely visual fulfillment that these references provided. By divorcing them from their contexts and stories, Takasaki purified his interaction with these images to one of aesthetic engagement only, in an attempt to bypass calculated intellectual processes and connect with the instinctive drive within himself. Though the idea of referencing images without considering their context and history could be dangerous or disrespectful, Takasaki remains keenly aware of positionality in art history– indeed, this is perhaps what allows him to transcend it. The appeal of his works lies in his ability to extract the very energy of art historical transitions and revolutions and channel them through his own hand. This unpredictability is a symptom of his receptivity, to the past and also to the present.
