October 27 – November 24, Nagoya City Art Museum
Jim Campbell’s “Date & Time” exhibition was held at Nagoya City Art Museum. It is his first major one person exhibition in Japan. 29 works among his latest including “Running, Falling-
Cut”(2001) were exhibited at this show. Campbell’s works are characterized with his excellent
knowledge of practical technique, intellectual arousing capacity and pictorial beauty, and the harmony between them. Especially in his latest works there is a “stillness” like paintings or drawings and eliminates so-called media art taste. If media art or art & technology would be reconnected to the stream of contemporary arts, this should be one way it should be. The exhibition was planned by the artist and became a simple one according to Campbell’s intention.
