Naoto Kawahara “Hypnos” Dates: Jul 3 – 31, 2021 Location: Taka Ishii Gallery (Complex665)
Naoto Kawahara “Hypnos” Dates: Jul 3 – 31, 2021 Location: Taka Ishii Gallery (complex665) Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition with Naoto Kawahara. Featuring four new paintings, it is his seventh solo exhibition with the gallery and the first in six years. Kawahara has long produced photorealistic paintings that faithfully reproduce photographs of people and landscapes around him and scenes from films. In recent years, he has made references to images from classic paintings by Albrecht Dürer, Balthus, Lucas Cranach, Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch, Pierre Bonnard, and Pieter Claesz, among others, changing the figures through his own models and re-envisioning the original scenes on his canvases. Through this series of “re-envisioned paintings,” the artist has developed and demonstrated to the viewer “an exploration of prototypes of imagery that still strike a deep chord with people today,” while “creating déjà vu perceptions through repetitions of the subject matters borrowed from old masters.” This time, the artist references paintings by Lucian Freud (1922-2011). For Kawahara, who has worked mainly on classic and modern painters, this is the first attempt to refer to works by a painter who, active throughout the 20th century, lived contemporaneously with him. His focus in this show is placed on reconsideration of both the unbalanced nature and harmony generated by two colliding elements in Freud’s oeuvre—namely “the almost violent depictions peculiar to him” and “the delicate and precise depictions” that can be seen in small details—as well as “the beauty inherent in their interrelation.” The title of this exhibition, “Hypnos,” comes from the name of the god of sleep in Greek mythology. -
And Seventeenth-Century Europe
The Culture of Dis/simulation in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Europe Michael Gordian A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Combined Historical Studies The Warburg Institute University of London 2014 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Michael Gordian 2 Abstract This dissertation examines early modern perceptions of the twin notions of simulation and dissimulation – which I refer to jointly as ‘dis/simulation’ – in various literary, social and semantic contexts and from a pan-European perspective. I look at how this thorny and controversial moral issue was addressed and discussed in a wide range of genres and texts and how it was disseminated to a broader readership. The introduction explains my approach to the subject, provides an overview of previous scholarship and includes a short excursus on three literary genres not discussed in detail in the dissertation. In the first chapter, I analyse the varied treatment of dis/simulation in emblem books. In the following chapter I explore the link between the problem of dis/simulation and early modern reform plans for poor relief, focusing on debates in Spain. Chapter 3 looks at texts from other European countries and establishes the connection between, on the one hand, learned and scholarly discussions of the problem of mendicancy and, on the other, popular literature in which the deceptions and disguises of beggars, rogues and tricksters were a recurrent theme. The next chapter deals with the contemporary perceptions of courtesans and analyses the nexus between love, passions and dis/simulation. -

First Printing Entries.PM6
Nissaba/Nisaba [Sum-Bab] Grain and harvest goddess, also in charge of writing and education. It is said that her breasts feed the fields and her body gives birth to the crops. *Nisser/Nisse (sing.)/gardvord/god bonde/fjøsnisse/gårdsrå [Scnd/Dnsh/Swd/Norw] Helpful pixie-ish creatures who assist farmers in the smooth operations of their farms. These fairies appear as small old men, usually dressed as farmers but with a distinctive tall, red, tassled cap. They have usually been depicted as wearing long white beards, but in modern times, it seems that some nisse have been shaving their beards off. They may also have pointed ears, which is a common characteristic for many fairies and other similar little creatures. Nisse are are strong and stalwart, and happily can dispose of any chores, but they are temperamental and desire recognition, thanks, and a bowl of porridge on Christmas eve. If they are not propitiated (like so many house spirits around the world) they can become mischievous and damage property, injure farm workers, or kill livestock. Nisser were thought to be able to turn invisible and change their shape, so few people ever see them, although small children may be able to. The red cap, the invisibility, and their capacity for mischief does remind a person of the Brazilian Saci more than a bit. Like saci, the Christian thinkers challenged these critters as being minions of the devil. It is this author’s understanding that their lot in life is a bit difficult, which is to say “It’s hard to be a nissemand.” Niu-kua [China] see Nu Kwa Niulang [China] ‘Cowherd.’ The love story of Zhinü and Niulang is one of those tragic romances that the East Asians excel at. -
