Description

The Japanese artist Koho Mori-Newton is a master when it comes to handling silk, which he places in an exciting dialogue with architecture. In this way, he creates cult-like spaces which interact with light in a fascinating manner.

In addition to the works in silk, this volume also showcases various graphic work groups from the last 35 years as well as the Path of Silk, created especially for No Intention.

Koho Mori-Newton (born 1951) is a master of intentional lack of intention. His works appear simple, but the aesthetic behind them is complex. Time and again he investigates the basis of art itself, questions the concept of the originality of the artistic creative process, and explores the boundaries of artworks. His oeuvre lures us into a world that exists beyond the obvious.

Path of Silk, a labyrinthine installation of room-high panels of silk, worked in China ink by Mori-Newton, presents a fragile interplay of space and light, of heaviness and lightness. Further areas of focus in his creative work are repetition and copy, from which his graphic works derive their own special charm.
