Ippodo Gallery returns for the fourth consecutive year to Design Miami in Miami Beach, FL to present new works of Japanese art that revolve around the concept of the Boundary [Kekkai]. Featuring a range of mediums, incluing wood and fabric, Ippodo Gallery introduces artists familiar to international artists with the addition of legendary names in kōgei. On view from December 2–7 , the aesthetics and designs of classic Japanese architecture is interpreted through lighting, textile curtains, objects, and furniture that create environments attuned to the five senses.
The curated selection of works examines the tangible and conceptual boundaries that structure our experience: between nature and artifice, tradition and innovation, solid and void. Featuring an international roster of Japanese and European artists, including Agnes Husz, KAKU, Kan Yasuda, Ken Matsubara, Kenta Hirai, Kodai Ujiie, Laura de Santillana, Lee Jae Hyo, Masahiro Maeda, Midori Tsukada, Mitsukuni Misaki, Shihoko Fukumoto, Ymer & Malta, and Yukiya Izumita.
Through a masterful and conscious engagement with materiality, each piece acts as a contemporary kekkai, framing the profound and poetic moments that occur in the liminal space where one state transitions to another. In response to a world saturated with noise and information, this exhibition constructs a necessary domain for contemplation, the essential “space between”. The collection invites a closer look at the boundaries—both visible and implied—that define, separate, and ultimately, connect.
