MIYAKO ISHIUCHI
2009-03-23The Michael Hoppen Gallery is honoured to host the first European retrospective of work by Miyako Ishiuchi, Japan’s foremost female photographer. Taking over both floors of the gallery, it will be the first time images from the series ‘Mother’s’ (2000-2005), ‘1906 To the Skin’ (1991-1993) and ‘Yokosuka Story’ (1976-1977) have been shown in Britain.
Curated by Dutch photographer and Japanese photography specialist Machiel Botman, the exhibition comes to us from Foam Museum Amstedam and La Filature Scène Nationale-Mulhouse before moving to Riga Art Space in Latvia. The exhibition was organized and produced by Langhans Galerie Praha, a non-profit organization for the promotion of photography, and will be accompanied by the limited edition book MIYAKO ISHIUCHI, edited by Machiel Botman and published by Manfred Heiting.
Printed in the form of a leporello within a slipcase, the book will be available exclusively from Michael Hoppen Gallery
This exhibition runs until the 16th of April, 2009
