Sadaharu Horio reflecting on Peter Davidson's installation titled: Remembering Martin Heine
at 2 Dogs Art Space Akashi
It was great to see Sadaharu Horio show up to 2 Dogs Art Space Akashi and the translated conversations is full of information and it was especially interesting to listen to Horio's early histories as an artist, to the more recent performance of making a water line from Kobe to Osaka whilst walking towing a small barrow behind.
It was especially moving to see Horio and Martin together again, if not in person but in spirit and as one has said before Martin was seen as a world class performance artist by the Horio and it takes a long time to get the level so it was great to Heine's memory appreciated again in Japan. here is a link to Martin's artworks and theories in art: http://www.martin-heine.com/
2 Dogs Art Space as it slowly grows is starting to gain momentum locally and with international exhibitors from Western Australia with their foreign attitudes aesthetics it is starting to attract a following from the local people. 2 Dogs Art Space has no power, water but this just makes the space all the more interesting to work in and hold exhibitions.
Future exhibitions will be from Western Australian artists and hopefully some figurative art pieces will be put on show in the near future, it looks like the performance space will be used a little more frequently too so all things look positive, therefore watch this space for updates.
