註釋Chiharu Shiota (b. Osaka, 1972) is a Berlin based artist working across media, including painting, performance, video and installation. In the mid-1990s Shiota moved to Germany where she worked with Marina Abramovi at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Braunschweig and then at the Universität der Künste in Berlin. Her work has been widely exhibited around the world, and shows in the United Kingdom include ''Walking in my Mind' at the Hayward Gallery (London) in 2009. Shiota's current exhibition in the UK has been commissioned by Towner, the contemporary art museum for South East England. Titled 'other side', it has been curated by Sanna Moore (Exhibitions curator at Towner). A well-illustrated catalogue has been published alongside the show with an essay by the curator and writer David Elliott. 'Chiharu Shiota: other side' runs through to 5 January 2014. Towner, Devonshire Park, UK. 'ther side' expands on Shiota's exploration of skeins of yarn thread as a medium through which to think about architectural spaces or built environments, and their relation to objects and human figures. Shiota has created a number of poetic and deeply affecting installations with thousands of metres of yarn, either red or black in colour. Through what is referred to by David Elliott, in the exhibition catalogue, as a ''painstaking manual process' objects and spaces are enmeshed in threads that may appear intricately woven ('During Sleep', 2002) but also disruptively knotted, tangled or broken ('The Way into Silence', 2003). 'During Sleep', staged a number of women in white nightdresses asleep in hospital beds: the beds, and the space occupied, enmeshed in the black yarn thread. As with all of Shiota's work this installation can be interpreted in many ways: I imagine a dialogue with a vast cultural repository to do with sleeping women, illness, fairy-tale and myth.-- fadmagazine.com.
