Duo show with Taro Karibe titled Through the garden window, the dew on the grass at Cale Gallery, Tokyo
28th of July-18th of August, 2023

‘Cale / Field Sewing Tokyo will hold an exhibition by Kathleen Reilly & Taro Karibe 'Through the garden window, the dew on the grass' from 28th of July to 18th of August 2023. The works of both Kathleen Reilly and Taro Karibe use different angles of perspective to explore the nature of the realm of the self and others. In exploring the overlap between Reilly's act of transforming the artist's inner experience into poetry and sculptures and Karibe's act of generating landscape photography through communication with AI, the two artists, in searching through conversations, identified the story of 'The Butterfly Dream', said to be seen by the Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, as a shared image. Understanding the ephemeral nature of approaching others, which can only be achieved by constant observation, both artists attempt to penetrate through some acts of destruction. By slightly deviating from their own inherent fetters (mind), they attempt to re-acknowledge others. These are also reflections on the fundamental question of whether A and B are parts (or components) of the same story.’
