201@105 is pleased to announce Fernando Eguchi’s ‘second’ solo exhibition, PORTAL II (if you count Part I as his first…) Portal Part I opened October 5th and closed November 2nd of this year. Part II will open Sunday, December 8th and run to December 22nd 2024. There will be an artist reception on Sunday, December 8th from 2 to 5pm.

 

Again, Eguchi’s exhibition is best described by the artist in his own words:

 

“In Portal II, I continue exploring new ways to experience the expansive concept of connection. In contrast to Portal Part I, PPII is expressed more organically, embracing the unknown in response to ever-changing circumstances.

 

Portal is the space where I both find and lose myself. Driven by a permanent curiosity, I observe, question, discover and allow myself to exist through a variety of tools and materials - whether acquired, received or collected. My practice manifests in videos, drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, all of which explore the interpretation and representation of memories that reflect the cultural encounters and mismatches between Brazil, Japan and the United States, creating a space for reflection and connection between the different realities.

 

Elements of nature, architecture, music and urban culture deeply influence my work, serving as languages that connect the imaginary to the tangible. I embrace this artistic practice as a form of communication, particularly when my language falls silent due to the barrier of the language itself.”

 

201@105 is located on the 2nd floor in room 201 on the northwest corner of (105) Mulberry Street and Canal Street in ‘Little Italy’ in lower Manhattan.
