Currently the subject of two major solo shows that span the artist's extensive career at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and Kettle's Yard, Cambridge. Sutapa Biswas is a British Indian conceptual artist, who works across a range of media including painting, drawing, film and time-based media. A vital contributor to the Black Arts Movement in Britain and to shifting understanding of post-war British art. Biswas' works visually disrupt, challenge and reimagine our present time. Visual theorist Griselda Pollock said that it was Biswas who 'forced us all to acknowledge the Eurocentric limits of the discourses within which we practise'.
Commissioned in 2015 Mata Ne, (See you Soon), and produced during an international residency in Japan. The project is inspired by the oral histories of women of Beppu, who recount important moments in their lives. A method of recovering neglected histories, through a methodology exploring autobiographical practice centred on the subjectivity of the narrator. Oral histories focused on women's experiences that demand revision of the historical.
From these oral history's, Biswas aims to decenter patriarchal national narratives in Japan, through collaborations that make space for women's narratives – their voices, experiences, and stories.

Mari Katayama, Broken Heart, White Rainbow Gallery, London, 2019
Broken Heart, a solo exhibition at White Rainbow by Mari Katayama, 2019. Image copyright the artist; courtesy White Rainbow. Photography by Damian Griffiths
A solo exhibition of photography and sculpture at White Rainbow by Japanese artist Mari Katayama. The artist's first UK solo show.
In her arresting and visceral work, Katayama's body features prominently, surrounded by intricately arranged objects, in intimate settings or set against vast landscapes. Born with various physical developmental challenges, Katayama had both legs amputated at age nine and has since lived with prosthetics.
Using her body as a living sculpture, she photographs herself among intricately embroidered, hand-sewn objects and her prosthetic legs. Investigating issues of beauty, frailty, sensuality, femininity, vulnerability and characterisation of her physicality as less-able bodied. Katayama's artistic practice is shaped by her direct experiences of her condition and societies obsession and anxieties about bodily appearance. Her striking work does not solely focus on disability itself, or the representation of the female body, but rather embodies the challenges brought about by her condition and wider perception of disability, in relations between the self and others.

Catalogue essay for Yumiko Ono publication Utopian Figures, 2021
Utopian Figures, Yumiko Ono, 2021
Yumiko Ono is a New York and Kyoto-based Japanese contemporary artist.
Yumiko Ono's prime mediums are drawing and slip cast porcelain, and she focuses on surface nature in both practices. By using these methods, Ono attempts to create content with superficial elements, to express the fragility and fictionality of modernity.
She is the recipient of solo shows at national galleries such as Epitomes, MoCA Taipei (Taiwan); Organic Matter, Diem Phung Thi Museum (Vietnam). Group exhibitions include Domani, The National Art Center in Tokyo.

The Blue and White Collection, Article#11-Chamber Pot, 2010, part of Into the World of Palpable Objects and Fruitful Delight, a solo exhibition by Fan Chon Hoo at 11 Spitalfields, London, 2011. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Fountain
Into the World of Palpable Objects and Fruitful Delight is Malaysian artist Fan Chon Hoo's first solo exhibition in London.
Shortlisted for the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4's New Sensations 2010, Fan Chon Hoo is an artist with a uniquely compelling visual language. By assuming the role of a modern-day amateur antiquarian and anthropologist, one informed by earlier figures of 18th and 19th-century travellers and amateur naturalists, Hoo explores the role that cultural artefacts have as residues and deposits of the process of cultural translation.
Amongst these cultural artefacts, the Willow Pattern chinaware and the Victorian copper jelly mould underline for Hoo the notion of cultural translation. In works such as the Blue and White Collection a series of paper earthenware works created in response to the Willow Pattern invented by English craftsmen in the late eighteenth century and embellished with imaginary landscapes made up of oriental architectural structures, exoticised follies from ornamental gardens found within the UK, Hoo playfully explores how a foreign culture can be appropriated and translated then subconsciously tucked into the local culture.
The exhibition is an encounter with Fan Chon Hoo's prodigious talent for creating accomplished and thoughtful works that evoke and echo the authentic, and through his idiosyncratic experimentations, question the positing of origin through his subtle and irreverent exploration of artifice.

Adam Chodzko, Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Fujiya Gallery, Japan, 2015
Our Host Postponed the Drinks Until After the Storm, Adam Chodzko, 2015. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Beppu Project, Oita
Adam Chodzko is an artist – exhibiting work nationally and internationally since 1991 – whose multidisciplinary practice explores the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour. His artworks include video, installation, photography, socially engaged practices, drawing and performance. Bringing together fragments from diverse fields of knowledge to make work that sits between documentary and fiction, his artworks are propositions driven by the question; if this is our current reality what really should happen to us next? Chodzko's exhibitions range from a solo survey show at Tate St Ives to installations at Tate Britain. He has had work in the Venice and Istanbul Biennials, and his commissioners include Frieze Art Fair and Hayward Gallery.
Produced during a residency in Kyushu, Japan the works presented in the installation; Rupture; Expulsion from the Garden of Eden; Somewhere Else; Our Host Postponed the Drinks Until After the Storm and Here., connect Chodzko's ongoing investigations into how a community connects with its sense of its self, place and past. What might be revealed or hidden within these encounters, examining them through the parallel relationships between gallery, audience, neighbour, art object and 'foreign' artist? His work at Fujiya Gallery, Beppu, develops a series of mythologies to investigate these connections using a mixture of documentary 'truth' and a form of science fiction to communicate a psychological surrealism.
China Now, There Is No 'I' In Team, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, 2008
The Times are Summoning, Meiya Lin, 2007. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Fountain, London
A unique opportunity to see the work of an extraordinary and vibrant new generation of Chinese artists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau working in moving image, sound and installation art, arguably the most prolific and strongest type of work being created in China at the time.
The exhibiting artists offer a speculative commentary on changes in China. Reflecting on the substantial differences in individualist and collectivist cultural orientations, and exploring complex regional contexts and conditions, history, tradition and modernity, derived from their personal experiences, while critically reflecting on and simultaneously traversing their world of China now.
Curated by Keith Whittle and Keri Elmsly – UK & Pauline Doutreluingne and Jiang Jian – China. Exhibited at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, and sound and moving image work across Newcastle city-wide locations, and touring to V&A, South Kensington, London and Program EV Berlin.
Part of CHINA NOW the largest festival of Chinese culture ever in the UK, and EAST'08, a world-class celebration of contemporary Asian culture in Newcastle-Gateshead. Funded by Culture 10 and British Council China and produced in partnership with CHINA NOW, ISIS Arts, Newcastle.

Language – in its broadest sense – permeates the video, sound, installation and performance work of Turner Prize winner Laure Prouvost.
Known for her immersive and mixed-media installations that combine film and installation in humorous and idiosyncratic ways, Turner Prize winner Prouvost's work addresses miscommunication and ideas becoming lost in translation. Playing with language as a tool for the imagination, Prouvost is interested in confounding linear narratives and expected associations among words, images and meaning. She combines existing and imagined personal memories with artistic and literary references to create complex film installations that muddy the distinction between fiction and reality.
At once seductive and jarring, her approach to filmmaking employs layered storytelling, quick edits, montage and wordplay and is composed of a rich, tactile assortment of images, sounds, spoken and written phrases. The videos are often shown within immersive environments which comprise found objects, sculptures, painting and drawings, signs, furniture and architectural assemblages, that are rendered complicit within the overarching narrative of the installation.

Beppu 04.11-06.14.09, Michael Lin, Japan, 2010. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Beppu Project, Oita
Michael Lin is an artist living and working in Taipei, Shanghai, and Brussels.
Lin turns away from painting as an object of contemplation toward one of painting as a bounded, physical space, one we can settle into and inhabit (Vivian Rehberg). Lin orchestrates monumental painting installations that re-conceptualize and reconfigure public spaces. Using patterns and designs appropriated from traditional Taiwanese textiles his works have been exhibited in major institutions and international Biennials around the world including The Auckland Triennial and the California Pacific Triennial 2013, Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Manila 2016, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne 2017, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei 2019 and most recently in 2020 at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto and Jumex Museum, Mexico City.
Transforming the institutional architecture of the public museum, his unconventional paintings invite visitors to reconsider their usual perception of those spaces, and to become an integral part of the work, giving meaning to its potential as an area for interaction, encounter, and re-creation.

Rolling Cylinder, Carston Hollier, 2012. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale
Exploring the proliferation of large-scale international recurrent exhibitions of contemporary art across the globe. This talk by Keith Whittle at The Japan Foundation took place within the same year that in the UK, saw the presentation of the Liverpool Biennial, third Folkestone Triennial, and in Japan the fifth Yokohama Triennial and inaugural Sapporo International Art Festival.
He was joined by internationally recognised curators, Yuko Hasegawa and Lewis Biggs, both responsible for curating a number of major exhibitions, including in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and Aichi, Japan respectively, and Koki Tanaka representative artist, Japan Pavilion, 55th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale and Mark Rappolt, Editor, Art Review.
The talk and discussion explored amongst other questions if these art projects and international exhibitions can expand and democratise access to culture, for a diversified public, creating a meaningful cultural social space for a general public and tourist majority generally less directly engaged with Art?
Talk organised in partnership with and staged at Japan Foundation, London, 2015
Satoru Aoyama exhibition Division of Labour, White Rainbow Gallery, London, 2016

Division of Labour, was a solo exhibition at White Rainbow by Satoru Aoyama (b. 1973). The focus of the exhibition was a new series of work: 'Map of the World (Dedicated to unknown embroiderers)' (2012-). The works reference the Afghan craftswomen who assisted in the making of Alighiero Boetti's 'Mappa' series (1971-1989)
For his new series, Aoyama has embroidered four world maps, along with a map of Europe. Reflecting the passage of time since Boetti's works, new countries such as Ukraine and Serbia are now visible on the contemporary world map. Aoyama's maps are embroidered using a fluorescent thread. In daylight, they reveal little detail, but when shown in a darkened space each country and border is revealed. With this theatrical presentation, the artist offers a suggestion of the often immaterial and intangible quality of borders and the geopolitics that underpin them.
Where Boetti hired craftswomen to implement the technique necessary to realise his ideas, Aoyama undertakes the skilled labour himself on an old Singer sewing machine, in order to reflect on the notion of the individual craftsman in an age of outsourcing and mechanised labour.
Exhibition organised and curated by White Rainbow.

Made in Japan: The Syntactical Impossibility of Approaching with a Pure Heart by Erika Tan, 2008. Image copyright the artist; courtesy Fountain
A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling was the result of concurrent exchange residencies of two artists between the UK and Japan.
UK based artist Erika Tan's commissioned works were presented under the collective heading 'Made in Japan'. The Syntactical Impossibility of Approaching with a Pure Heart. A meditation on apriori knowledge, the encounters with the unexpected and the inevitable impossibilities of reconciling representation, experience and expectation. Mount Fuji or Fuji-san comes to play a central role in this work, and the title refers in parts to the mythological tale of the fate of the faithless or unworthy pilgrims.
The work exhibited consists of 13 video works, several hundred donated drawn images, compiled or composite Mount Fuji's, and other elements such as topological type puzzles, sculptural objects, digital prints, viewing mechanisms and LED signs.
Exhibition organised and co-curated by Keith Whittle and Alistair Robinson. Part of the British Councils UK-Japan 2008 & Japan 150 festivals marking the anniversary of trade and cultural links between the UK & Japan.

Programmed to coincide with The Conquest of Imperfection, the first major UK exhibition of Japanese media artist Masaki Fujihata's acclaimed interactive work. This talk explores Japanese moving image and media art and the embrace and manipulation of technology across varying generations of Japanese artists.
With references ranging from the 1960s to today, the talk highlighted the work of key practitioners such as Shigeko Kubota and those artists whose work across performance, sculpture, and moving image conflates the physical world and its life on screen through new media and video installation.

Including artists and artist groups Chim↑Pom, Shiga Lieko and Kato Tsubasa working in or near the regions affected and with its communities, and touching upon the contradictions and conflicts that exist in the context of Japanese modernisation and industrialisation, and post-war diplomatic policy, in the particular Japan-US relations under the Cold War structure, and the prioritising the economy and efficiency during the period of high economic growth.
The talk explored the artist's role and impact of art activities that respond to unprecedented situations, social and political issues, or take an exclusively political position in response to issues thrown up by the events in 2011, posing the question 'What is the power of art and what can it do?'.

Presented in partnership with the V&A South Kensington, Reflexions, Refractions, Inflexions: Matter and Light is a series of artist talks exploring light and matter.
In the first of the series, Liliane Lijn discussed the ideas and methodology behind her work. Lijn was born in New York and studied archaeology at the Sorbonne and Art History at the Ecole du Louvre, Paris (1958). Living in New York between 1961 and 1963, experimenting with fire and acids and working with light, poetry, movement and liquids, she rapidly established herself as a leading kinetic artist through many international exhibitions.
In 1966 she moved to London. She has featured in numerous group exhibitions in Britain, Europe and Japan, and is represented in important public and private collections in Britain, France, Australia and the United States. In 2005, she was ACE, NASA artist in residence at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and later Narec: New and Renewable Energy Centre Northumberland UK.
Liliane Lijn's work covers a large spectrum of interests, from Light and its interaction with diverse new materials to the development of a fresh image for the feminine. Lijn has taken inspiration from incidental details both man-made and natural, mythology and poetry, science and technology. Lijn is interested in the development of language, collaborating across disciplines and making art that is interactive, in which the viewer can actively participate.

I Was Skeptical — But Going Keto May Have Saved Me from a Hysterectomy
Written by Leah Campbell — Updated on July 26, 2019
I hate fad diets. But I tried this one in desperation — and I may never go back.
I started the ketogenic (keto) diet grudgingly at first. I have a deep personal hatred of fad diets and all the false promises they usually carry with them. As someone with an eating disorder past, I've spent countless hours with nutritionists and therapists learning what a healthy relationship with food should look like — and I know it's not cutting out entire food groups in the name of weight loss.
But, I have stage 4 endometriosis. That basically means I'm completely infertile, and my periods can be excruciating. I had three major surgeries eight years ago that seemed to make a difference, but lately, the pain has been returning. And a hysterectomy has been on the table as my next step.
I'm 35 years old. If I'm being honest, I don't want to go through surgically induced menopause just yet. But I also don't want to be in chronic pain all the time either.
So, when I came home from a cruise at the beginning of this year feeling like absolute crap — because eating and drinking like there's no tomorrow can do that to a girl with an inflammatory condition — I decided to give keto a try. Not for weight loss, but for the purported anti-inflammatory benefits.
Like I already mentioned, I did this grudgingly. Over the last 10 years, I have tried countless anti-inflammatory diets. The only one that has come even close to helping was low-FODMAP, which I started after being diagnosed with SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (an unfortunate consequence of all my abdominal surgeries).
Some of those diets actually made me feel worse — which I later found out may have been because I was adding more of the foods I'm personally sensitive to, like garlic, to the anti-dairy, anti-gluten, anti-caffeine, anti-alcohol, anti-fun diets I was taking on.
Either way, I'm not going to lie: I started keto mostly so that I could prove all the proponents of its magical healing properties wrong.
I dipped my toes into the keto diet slowly at first, starting mid-cycle with pretty easy and basic meal plans. Cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, goat cheese and bacon salads for lunch, Costco rotisserie chicken with cream cheese and asparagus on the side for dinner, plus as many spoonfuls of peanut butter as I wanted. (It should probably be noted that I eat a lot of peanut butter.)
The first week was awful. That keto flu people talk about? It's no joke. I had a hard time walking to the car to drive my kid to school most mornings. I felt absolutely horrendous. But, I pushed through — because I was going to do this for 30 days purely so that I could then write about what a load of nonsense the entire diet was. And I couldn't do that unless I gave it a fair shot.
Then something weird happened. I started feeling better. More energetic throughout the day, even on days where I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before.
I stopped craving sweets and breads, and was feeling mostly satisfied with my fatty meals that still allowed me to enjoy some of my favorites, like cheese, peanut butter, and kalamata olives.
Then, something even weirder happened. About two weeks after beginning the keto diet, I went to the bathroom and realized I'd started my period.
Now, to many women that might sound totally normal. But I know women with severe endometriosis will understand what a crazy thing it is to imagine starting your period without even knowing. For me, the cramping and the pain usually starts hours — and sometimes days — before my period begins. I always know it's coming.
But on that day, as I sat in the bathroom staring at the blood on the toilet paper — I felt nothing.
That miraculous absence of pain continued over the next few days. While my period usually requires a careful calibration of pain management tools — I typically opt for microdosing marijuana rather than taking the pain meds I'm prescribed, mostly because I'm a single mom who needs to take the edge off the pain but also still needs to be functional — I took a total of three Tylenols this period, and spent no more than 15 minutes on a heating pad — something I pulled out mostly out of habit rather than actual need.
It was the easiest period I think I've ever had in my entire life.
And now, I hate myself for saying this, but… I don't think I'm ever going to be able to go back. If keto did this, if keto gave me a pain-free period… count me in. I never have to have another piece of bread again.
I still worry about how people start on the keto diet for weight loss, without necessarily doing the research or taking the steps to ensure they're still getting a full spectrum of necessary nutrition. But for therapeutic purposes, I've got to say I'm blown away by the results I've experienced. And I may have just become one of those people who enthusiastically touts the medical benefits of a fad diet.
I'd hate myself for that, if I weren't so incredibly excited about the promise of future pain-free periods.
