Aoki and Tuttle's 'Almost Sky' Opens at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery

At the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, the exhibition 'Almost Sky' showcases the works of architect Jun Aoki and artist Richard Tuttle, under the curation of Yoko Nose. This two-person show, born from conversations between the artists, invites attendees to gaze upward, reflecting on the sky. The kanji symbol for 'sky' also translates to 'emptiness,' yet in this context, it signifies a space filled with light, shadow, and delicate atmospheric shifts. Aoki characterizes architecture as 'air,' representing open spaces that embrace various values and tempos, while Tuttle perceives art as 'light,' a means to convey beauty and truth in fleeting moments. A catalog from limArt will be released on September 11, 2026.
