State of Matter
2019
Vitrine Gallery, LondonIn the exhibition State of Matter, Kato Six is particularly interested in heightening the viewer's understanding and sensitivity to the material nature of the works which, in turn, leads one to observe the light, shadow and reflections cast in and around the works; questioning where the artwork begins and where it ends. Central to this new body of work is her distinctive response to the gallery’s architecture. As challenging as the space can be, Six simultaneously works with and against it, grappling with the two dimensional, tableau-like quality of VITRINE. Extending beyond the walls, Six plays with the margins of space through subtle disruptions and configurations which shift with the time and light of the day.
