Suchan Kinoshita: Het verkeerde moment op de juiste plek / The Right Moment at the Wrong Place

In her first overview exhibition in the Netherlands, Suchan Kinoshita restages her oeuvre within the transparent architecture of Museum De Paviljoens (the Aue Pavilions, Documenta IX). Kinoshita manipulates the synchronism of time and space in installations in which text, language, objects and architecture merge. She focuses on lapses and subtle shifts in repetition and translation, showing that meaning is not clear-cut, but arises in the spaces in-between.

As part of Het verkeerde moment op de juiste plek / The Right Moment at the Wrong Place, Kinoshita cut through the walls that where built for previous exhibitions and offices in Museum De Paviljoens, and created a new interior space as extension of her installations. Several works return as Chinese whispers, changed by the passage of time, her interpretation from the present moment and the architecture of the Aue Pavilions.

Suchan Kinoshita (Tokyo, 1960) currently lives and works in Maastricht (NL). She grew up in Japan as a daughter of a Japanese father and a German mother. In 1981, she moved to Cologne to study at the Hochschule für Musik. For several years afterwards, she was connected to TAM (Theater am Marienplatz) in Krefeld, before going to the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht in 1988/89. Her background in both music and theatre are perceptible in her interdisciplinary installations. Her previous solo exhibitions include amongst others Eerste huwelijk (First Marriage) in M HKA, Antwerp (2002), Das Fragment an sich (The fragment in itself) in Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2006 - 2007) and recently In 10 Minuten (In 10 Minutes) in Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2010 - 2011) and Stick Empathy in Mudam, Luxemburg (2011).
