THE GOLDEN NAGOYA

［ July 04 – 31,20262］@Blackbird Gallery

Opening Hours | Wed–Fri 11:00–18:00 / Sat & Sun 11:00–20:00
Closed | Mondays and Tuesdays

 We are pleased to present “THE GOLDEN NAGOYA,” a group exhibition featuring ten artists.

Throughout history, gold has been revered as a symbol of authority and prosperity.

Nagoya possesses a unique “golden culture”—from the lavish aesthetic of the Momoyama period championed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the golden *shachihoko* (mythical carp-tigers) of Nagoya Castle, to the pride and decorative spirit embodied in local craftsmanship. This exhibition reinterprets that historical DNA through the lens of contemporary art.
Around ten ceramic artists and sculptors have created new works centered on the theme of gold.
Whether through tea bowls, vessels, art objects, or sculptures, each artist unearths the desires, beliefs, fictions, hopes, and memories lying beneath that “radiance,” giving them new form.

This is neither a mere extension of traditional crafts nor simply an expression of luxury.

It is an exhibition designed to update Nagoya’s golden culture for the future.

A special tea ceremony utilizing the exhibited works will also be held during the exhibition period.

Through a quiet experience where contemporary art and the tea ceremony intersect, visitors can physically experience the sensation of “art in use.”

Additionally, a visitor-participation event—”Vote for Your Favorite Work”—will be held, allowing the sensibilities of the viewers themselves to shape the value of the exhibition.

—— Is Nagoya’s “gold” merely a symbol of the past?

Or is it an energy that will give birth to a culture yet unseen? ——

器を手に取る。料理を味わう。音に耳を澄ませる。
そのすべてが、私たちの記憶の奥にある
“いのちの感覚”を静かに呼び覚ます。

陶芸家・青木良太の創り出す器は、土と炎、そして沈黙から生まれ、
私たちの食卓に新たな景色をもたらします。
そこに、発酵と熟成を探究する料理人・山本卓也の一皿が響き合う。

聖徳太子ゆかりの地、四天王寺という祈りの場で、
時代を超えて受け継がれてきた「味わう」という行為の本質に、
静かに、深く、向き合う時間。

あなたの感性で、この体験を味わってください。
