The exhibition “Carl Andre Between Sculpture and Poetry” will be held at Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture, from March 9 (Sat) to June 30 (Sun), 2024.
Carl Andre is a representative sculptor of “minimal art” that flourished mainly in the United States in the late 1960s. In 1970, he was invited to Japan to participate in the “10th Japan International Art Exhibition (Tokyo Biennale): Man and Material.
This is his first solo exhibition at a museum in Japan, and in addition to his sculptures, the exhibition will also feature his poetry, which has been a part of André’s life since he was a child. André’s poetry, in which typewritten letters are arranged on paper with a visual structure, can be seen as a form of sculptural literary expression.
