onnacodomo + MATKA “THE”
EXHIBITION |Saturday, July 10, 2021 - Wednesday, July 21, 2021
Venue: Gallery Commune
This will be a collaborative exhibition between "onnacodomo," a unit that produces collages and video works, and "MATKA," a ceramic artist. These original ceramic pieces, combining MATKA's sculptures with onnacodomo's collages, are "artworks that blend into everyday life/poetic ceramics," expressing a world where incongruity and harmony coexist. This highly anticipated second exhibition, following "Inconvenient Days" in 2019, will feature the debut of over 50 works, as well as the release of merchandise in collaboration with artist Alexander Julien. We look forward to seeing you there.
onnacodomo | Onnakodomo is a unit formed by graphic artist Rika Noguchi and video artist Yasuko Seki. Their unique VJ performances involve creating collages of all sorts of objects, including water, toys, and printed materials, and projecting them in real time like a music video session. They have performed at venues such as FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL (with Buffalo Daughter) and the Coachella Festival (with Ryan Hemsworth). They have also produced numerous video and collage works. Their major direction projects include the music videos for Hiroshi Fujiwara's "TERRITORY," Non's "Nama Iki ni Skirt," and Hei Tanaka's "Imi wa Nai," as well as the jingle video for Amazon Prime's "Kikokikaku," and the promotional art for Suzuki Matsuo, Hitoshi Ohne, and Theatre Cocoon's "Machine Diary."
