ARTCOURT Gallery

New work from renowned Japanese sculptor Shiro Matsui is currently on display at ArtCourt Gallery. Since 1983, Nara-born Matsui has wielded various materials—such as wood, copper, and marble—to craft intricate and interactive installations that have been showcased around the world. Matsui enjoys challenging people’s perceptions of how they move through space by building large-scale sculptures the public can walk through, most notably a series of giant balloon-like structures that fuse with the buildings they are installed in. Matsui’s current solo exhibition features new works, including {Lag Behind / Lag Forward}, a humorous interactive sculpture, and the large-scale installation Capital T, an eight-meter-long pipe that stretches through the entire gallery.
