"Research - Progress - Practice #3 Aglaia Konrad Archives" currently being held

The ongoing exhibition, "Research – Progress – Practice #3 Aglaia Konrad Archives," is nearing the halfway point.

This exhibition is packed with content, focusing on the artists' artist books produced to date, as well as exhibition catalogues, related books, video works, and multiple works produced by keijiban.

Some people may be wary of his work as it is a specialized field, or think that it is outside the scope of their interests, since he mainly photographs architecture. However, Conrad's work is neither so-called "architectural photography" nor "documentary photography"; it has a unique and unconventional appeal that reflects the social background and has established its own context of expression.

Even if you do not know the artist's name, by approaching the work with an open mind, you will be able to fully enjoy the artist's work while looking back over his or her career, just as if you were viewing a major retrospective at an art museum.

We expect the event to be crowded towards the end of the period, so please choose a time that is convenient for you to visit.

Aglaia Konrad
Born in Salzburg, Austria in 1960, Konrad is currently based in Brussels, Belgium. Since the 1970s, Konrad has developed a unique photographic and video expression that documents the rapid urbanization process around the world. His archive contains a vast number of images of infrastructure and residential architecture in various cities, which is an infinite treasure trove that sheds a unique light on the relationship between society and space. He has exhibited his work at international art festivals such as the 10th Documenta and at museums around the world, and has received the Otto Mauer Prize in Vienna in 1997, the Graz Camera Prize in 2003, the Albert-Lengher-Pazel Prize from the Dietrich Openberg Foundation in 2007, and the Fernand Bodin Prize in 2011. In his latest book, Japan Works, published by Roma Publications in the Netherlands in 2021, Konrad presented a series of photographs he took around Japanese cities.
