慶應義塾大学アート・センター　Keio University Art Center

Over five years, beginning in 2011, Keio University Art Centre hosted the series “Contemporary Eyes,” committed to exhibiting works by contemporary artists. Through this series, we hoped to foster within a university environment the opportunity for younger generations to encounter the works of living artists.  

From 2017, we are beginning the new series, “Standing Point.”  The first artist to be exhibited in this new series is Yoko Terauchi.

Yoko Terauchi’s work emerged through the doubts and incongruities she experienced whilst studying sculpture at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London in the late 1970s. Her work began with the interrogation of self-evident logical structures (surface vs. interior, for example), and continues to investigate these questions. In this way, it can be read as a challenge to Western dualism.
