Ron Mueck Exhibition (July 2026)

Only 11 works, yet so much to take in. Ron Mueck's first solo exhibition in Japan in 18 years, at the Mori Art Museum. The piece that stayed with me most, Woman with Shopping, felt too real to photograph.

Chiharu Shiota’s “Memory of Lines” on Teshima (November 2025)

A room filled with red thread that made me gasp. Chiharu Shiota's "Memory of Lines" on Teshima, seen at the Setouchi Triennale 2025 - 37 km of thread woven around old noodle-making machines, a little frightening and impossible to look away from.

Travel Walks: House of Light (September 2024)

A long-awaited overnight stay at James Turrell's House of Light. Watching the light program from the tatami, a bath that makes your body glow, stargazing with uninvited insects, and an unexpected refusal of Turrell at sunrise.
