Artists' Books by Seiichi Furuya
Saturday, April 2, 2022 - Sunday, April 17, 2022

From April 2nd, we will be holding the "IACK Collection", an exhibition of the artist books collected by IACK.

This first instalment will feature artist books produced to date by Seiichi Furuya, a Japanese photographer currently residing in Austria.

Furuya is widely known for his series "Mémoires," which is based on his late wife, but he has also produced many other excellent works."Memoires"By focusing on an aspect of the artist that may have been overlooked due to its extremely dramatic nature, and the expression of that aspect, we will explore the possibilities of "storytelling" through photography.

In addition to the collection of works from IACK's early to recent years, the venue will also feature the artist's latest publications."First Trip To Bologna 1978 / Last Trip To Venice 1985"There will also be sales, so please take advantage of this opportunity to come and visit us.
