Event Details
Pace presents Mika Tajima: Anthesis, an exhibition of new and recent work by Mika Tajima, which will debut a new body of work, titled Negentropica
Paintings and sculptures from Tajima’s Art d’Ameublement, Negative Entropy, and Pranayama series will also feature, representing her latest investigations into energy, invisible forces, and the self in a networked age.
For almost two decades, Taijma’s multidisciplinary practice, which spans painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, has given substance to the ideas and qualities that circumscribe human agency within our built and virtual environments. Examining three consistent concepts—of control, freedom, and performance—her work is grounded in the material and sensorial, translating extensive theoretical research into physical objects.
The exhibition at Pace takes its title, Anthesis, from the term used to describe the moment a flower reaches full bloom—when the plant is at its most functional and expressive state. Drawing on this idea, the works on view employ recording, transformation, and containment—arduous attempts to resist natural decay and simultaneously underscore impermanence. In this context, anthesis, associated with both scientific quantification and aesthetic brilliance, offers a metaphorical framework for the show, capturing possibilities of becoming and the fragility of presence.
