"Research – Progress – Practice #3 Aglaia Konrad Archives," which has been running for about a month, will finally come to an end this Sunday.

Although Conrad's work has had a consistent theme from the beginning of his career to the present, his method of expression is constantly evolving, so the impression you get from viewing one piece may be overturned when you see another piece.

This exhibition is comprised of three pillars: artist books, which Conrad has been working on as part of his creative process, video works, and editions. In addition, the exhibition catalogs and books that have been featured in his works are also on display, allowing visitors to get a more three-dimensional view of the artist.

The installation at "Keijiban" in the same town allows viewers to see the artist's creative process in more detail.Visual RepresentationThis work will be even more enjoyable when viewed together with the edition works on display at IACK.Please note that this event will run until Thursday.

Those who have never seen it before are of course welcome to attend, as are those coming for a second or third visit, so please take this opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Conrad's work.

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.

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.

Starting this weekend, we will be selling a postcard set in stores featuring fountain 2 fountain's latest mix.

"Fountain 2 Fountain" is a project by artist Shosuke Suzuki to create background music for various spaces. IACK has been providing the sound source for our stores since 2020.

The rainy season has started earlier than usual this year, how are you all doing?

Today we would like to introduce a new book that arrived recently.

The "IACK Archive Fair Online", which is being held on the online store, will run until this Sunday.

IACK has focused on collections of works as a medium that, unlike actual works (although that may sound odd) exhibited in galleries, is accessible to many people across time and place, and is relatively easy to archive both physically and financially.
