LEMONISM x CUBISM | DADAISM | *MINIMALISM | SYMBOLISM & ACTIONISM | JAPONISM | 2017
“Performances & video installations”

Opposing exuberant forms of art, Minimalism of the 1960s uses reduction and clear geometric shapes. Equally, Takeya chooses reduction as the guiding aesthetic theme of her work. Her own body turns into a geometric sculpture that is being examined, fragmented and abstracted. The action “Model X8”, assigned to the right upper arm, is the focus of Akemi Takeya’s attention in LEMONISM x MINIMALISM. She uses Egon Schiele, a fixed star of the notion of a painter as an ingenious artist, as her point of reference. The physicality of his work functions as model for Takeya on her journey through her own intimate vocabulary of minimalistic shapes, abstracting and minimizing the fleshly body.
