CHIHARU SHIOTA

OLIVIER VARENNE is proud to present a group of new 2 and 3 dimensional works by Chiharu Shiota.  Olivier Varenne has worked with Shiota for many years: first discovering her work on a trip to Japan in 2007 he included her in the 3rd Moscow Biennale which he co-curated in 2009. He also worked with Shiota with on & on at La Casa Encendida, Madrid (2010-2011), and curated a show of four new works by the artist at Detached in Hobart, Australia in association with Mona Foma.  Her work was included in the exhibition The Red Queen at Mona from 2013-2014 which posed the question, ‘why do humans make art?’ Olivier is therefore particularly pleased to be showing and celebrating his years of association with Shiota and her work in his gallery in Geneva.
