Overcoming. Idea: Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. Organized by: Art International. Venue: Manege Central Exhibition Hall, St. Petersburg
A part of Takeda. Pain and Will — a wide-ranging and multi-faceted project for the advancement of palliative care and new medical technologies.
Overcoming is a unique visual arts project that combines the creative efforts of young artists from Russia and Japan. The project’s curator is Semyon Mikhailovsky, Rector of the Saint Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts.
Overcoming will be launched as an international exhibition on 6 February 2018 in the Manege Central Exhibition Hall in Saint Petersburg. More than 120 works by young artists studying in Japanese and Russian art schools will be displayed for the first time as part of Takeda. Pain and Will — a wide-ranging and multi-faceted project dedicated to the advancement of palliative care and new medical technologies.
During preparations for the project, Andrey Potapov, CEO of Takeda Pharmaceuticals Russia and head of its CIS operations, said: ‘The year 2018 is to be one of cultural exchange between Russia and Japan. By mounting the international exhibition Overcoming about the importance of palliative care and new medical technologies, we intend to show that these are vital concerns for our countries. I sincerely hope that the exhibitions in Saint Petersburg and Moscow will draw attention from people in all walks of life and that the emotional language of art will enable us to make our society kinder and more compassionate.’
The exhibition will feature about 70 pieces provided by Japanese students from two prominent universities — the Musashino Art University and the Tama Art University. Paintings, graphic art and calligraphy, videos and installations by these Japanese artists will occupy the entire first floor of the Manege in Saint Petersburg.
Pictures done by students at the Repin Saint Petersburg State Academy Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture will be displayed on the second floor. In line with the vision of the organizers, most of these works will be displayed on artist’s easels. The aura of an actual learning environment will be recreated in the galleries to serve as a reminder that this exhibition is drawn from a new generation of artists.
‘These exhibitions organized with the support of the Takeda company give us a way to assess not only the talent of a given artist, but also their sensitivity to social issues,’ remarked the project’s curator Semyon Mikhailovsky. ‘I believe that it is quite important for artists to express their attitude toward life, to find a path to emotional engagement and social responsibility. The exhibitions at the Manege halls in both Saint Petersburg and Moscow will open fresh prospects for artists in Russia and Japan. A separate section of the displays is devoted to works by Keito Yamaguchi, a Japanese artist and student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg. For our exhibition, she is an emblematic figure linking two different civilizations.’
As viewers enter the show, they must work their way around immense wooden letters that spell out the name of the exhibition. These are an allusion to the work of Japanese artist Kayoko Watanabe who has devised a system of wooden lettering based on traditional Japanese construction techniques that join pieces without the use of nails.
