SUMMARY:On Exhibit: "Steam and Ice\," Hiroyo Kaneko
DESCRIPTION:Steam & Ice: Hiroyo Kaneko \nOn Exhibit: April 12- May 26\, 2012 \nArtist Reception: Thursday April 26\, 6-9pm \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWater\, in its many forms presents opportunities for connection to engage our environment\, as well as offering its own unique challenges. Contemplating the states of water seems especially relevant in the wake of Japan’s recent Tsunami and other natural and man-made disasters. The photographs presented in this exhibition\, Steam & Ice\, speak to the physicality and varying transformative expressions of water. \n  \nThe works presented here represent two bodies of work by Japanese-born photographer Hiroyo Kaneko taken in her native Japan\, including her hometown of Aomori. In these works\, routine traditions in Japan such as the bath and shoveling snow reveal a more complex relationship to water\, family and community. \n  \nKaneko presents both an intimate and removed view into these routines – in one instance photographing herself and her family at a hot spring outside of Tokyo. Here we see a family intimately sharing in this common practice valued for its promise of renewal and healing. In contrast\, Kaneko’s photographs of Aomori townspeople offer a quirkier look into negotiating the impacts of weather and living in close proximity to one another. Unlike the seclusion of the hot springs\, we see how a community connects working together to dig each other out of the ice and snow. Like steam\, ice offers healing qualities to preserve and provide new growth. \n  \nMarisa Aragona \nDirector of Exhibitions\, RPAH \n\n  \nHiroyo Kaneko is currently based in San Francisco\, California. Born in Aomori\, Japan\, she received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2005 and a BA in French Literature from Maiji Gakuin University\, Tokyo in 1987. Her work has been exhibited extensively in the United States and Japan including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Headlands Center for the Arts\, the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery\, Rayko Photo Center\, the Nagasaki City Library and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. In 2009\, Kaneko was a recipient of the Santa Fe Prize for Photography. Her work is in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Rayko Photo Center. \n

SUMMARY:Contemporary Landscape Traditions in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Artist Salon linked to photographic exhibit titled Steam and Ice\, by artist Hiroyo Kaneko\, currently on view at the Poppy. \nContemporary Landscape Traditions in Japan \nPlease join us for an evening with Bay Area artist Hiroyo Kaneko in conversation with Lisa Sutcliffe\, assistant curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art . They will be discussing Kaneko’s first solo exhibition at the Red Poppy: Steam and Ice.  \n  \nThe exhibition presents two series\, both examining human rituals and  complex relationships to the landscape. In Sentimental Education\, the artist photographed herself and her family relaxing in the hot springs on the outskirts of Tokyo. These intimate photographs\, soft in color and rich in atmosphere\, quietly examine a time-honored ritual of renewal. \n  \nMore recently\, the artist returned to her hometown of Aomori\, in northern Japan to record the everyday activities associated with a harsh winter climate. The third in a series of pictures exploring human rituals associated with seasons\, this work emphasizes her interest in a deep understanding of the complex ways in which we are shaped by nature even as we attempt to control it. \n  \nTracing the thread of landscape photography in Japan\, the discussion will offer a historical context for Kaneko’s work followed by a conversation with the artist. Sutcliffe and Kaneko will discuss various approaches in contemporary Japanese photography\, from the analytic examinations of Naoya Hatakeyama to the more formal explorations of Toshio Shibata and attempt to draw out the themes these artists share.
