About the Exhibition
Innen Leben - A solo exhibition featuring the clay sculptures of the autistic Japanese-based Shinichi Sawada (b.1982). Without being able to express himself verbally, Sawada shares with us mysterious figures of the outside world.
The exhibition started at the Museum Lothar Fischer, Neumarkt (23.2.-14.7.2020) alongside the ink drawings of Alfred Kremer. Following this, just Sawada’s work travelled to the Georg Kolbe Museum, Berlin ( 13.9.2020-14.3.2021). It was the first museum solo exhibition in Europe for Shinichi Sawada. For both exhibitions the catalogue Shinichi Sawada was published in German and English. Please contact the museums for this catalogue. It is priced at 10 euros, plus shipping.
Below is a short promotional video from the Georg Kolbe Museum about the show. Unfortunately, much of the show’s run at this venue was disrupted by Covid-19.
The Georg Kolbe Museum show was profiled in Monopol Magazine in March 2021, stating “Over the past two decades, he has developed a unique formal language that invites you to question traditional categories and ways of thinking.” Read the piece in German HERE.
