“Resume” is a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Tsuyoshi Hisakado. Well-recognized for his immersive installation works, Hisakado is known to highlight the subtle, fleeting experiences of the everyday. In response to the changes in our daily life due to the Covid19 pandemic, Hisakado developed a body of work that reflects his personal experience as well as the current status of society.

The main highlight of this exhibition is the installation work Resume (2020), which consists of fifty wooden panels, each painted in a fluorescent hue on one side. Leaned against the walls or on the floor with their painted sides facing inwards, the wooden panels are a metaphor for the ideas and ambitions brewing inside the artist’s mind while things were put on hold. Other works featured in this presentation include the crossfades series (2018 – present, ongoing) of works on paper, which explore concepts of infinity in space and time through unique compositions of ink atop a spiral of silkscreened numbers.
