Painting and Weaving Opportunity: Yohji Yamamoto・Yuuka Asakura
Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Painting and Weaving Opportunity:
Yohji Yamamoto and Yuuka Asakura, running from Saturday, 10 December, 2016 until Sunday, 12
March, 2017.
With his recent collections, Yohji Yamamoto has sought to incorporate paintings into his clothing. It represents the possibilities presented by collaboration between painting and
‘woven’ textiles, i.e. clothes. It is not just the conjunction between painting and fashion that the
exhibition presents, but also that between 2D and 3D, men and women, and other oppositions. The
essential nature of all of these conjunctions is that of simultaneous repulsion and attraction, an
inescapable, inevitable, and in many ways dangerous bond, which touches the very heart of creation.
