Ai Sasaki: Wayfinder’s Passage is a solo exhibition by Ai Sasaki, a contemporary Japanese artist based in Osaka. Curated by Yu Iseki (Curator of the Contemporary Art Gallery, Art Tower Mito), this exhibition features Sasaki’s recent works across mediums including drawings and oil paintings, as well as a new mural to be created using a sugar-based confectionery decorative technique called royal icing.

Through her works, Sasaki depicts scenes in which the worlds recollected from viewers’ ‘memories’ intersect with reality. Drawing from her experiences of living in various countries and regions, Sasaki’s art practice takes inspiration from the mythology, legends and stories of the lands she has visited, along with the landscapes, plants and animals she has encountered.

The exhibition’s title, Wayfinder’s Passage, reflects the theme for this collection of pieces: the Latham’s snipe, a migratory bird that travels from the most northern part of Japan, Hokkaido, to the Tasmanian islands. Although Sasaki’s mural will be dismantled after the exhibition’s conclusion, the artwork will be carved into the memories of visitors, along with Ai Sasaki’s story of the journey between Japan and Australia.

Ai Sasaki: Wayfinder’s Passage will be held at The Japan Foundation Gallery from September 15, 2023 to January 27, 2024.

An event program accompanying the exhibition will be announced at a later date.

    Ai is an unfortunate name for an artist in 2023.

            @belongsinforums: I love you - Mandarin: Wǒ ài nǐ ; Japanese: Aishitemasu

            I also met a Japanese girl named Ai - who I loved.

              @Hangryuman: Japanese: Aishitemasu

              My weeaboo past life is showing here, but it's worth mentioning that the term isn't commonly used in real life Japanese since it's considered 'too intense' of a word to use. Most people say 'dai suki' or 'suki' in place of where we'd commonly say 'I love you', but are probably more more likely to display affection through actions rather than words.

    This is just an advertisement. Poor post-reply ratio and post made 20hrs ago, left 1min after making ad. Nah

      The upvote system is basically inconsistent.

      Upvotes / downvote are meant to be used for DEALS, not advertising. …or that's what I was taught once upon a time on Ozbargain.

      …but that doesn't seem to apply for some 'deals'. It's quite simply inconsistent.

    Great art. Light but interesting and comfy. Would buy a print.

    free but not obvious how to find - inside Central Park Mall shopping centre a few minutes stroll from Central Station. Walk in the main entrance from Broadway (opposite the UTS tower), then turn right before the down escalator, there are lifts, press for Up, then in the lift I think press 4 to take you to the top level, then turn right out of the lift, turn left at the glass wall into the glass corridor, and it is the first glass door on the right

    if you continue straight along the glass corridor that's the entrance to a gym (last time I looked)

    walk into the Japan Foundation, (see open hours 10-6 M-F, 11-4 Sat) and there is typically someone sitting behind this desk and the art gallery will be in the rear section behind them in this pic - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipM5ZRCFMcLPNW-1MxKl…

    if you're at all interested in travel to Japan - this is also a library with Japanese magazines which can be a nice browse at the floor-ceiling glass overlooking the park behind.

    They have exhibitions that change every 6 months or so - I find it a nice interlude on my way to somewhere else.
