Motoi Yamamoto
Return to the Sea: Saltworks



The centerpiece of the exhibition will be a site-specific installation created entirely out of salt by the artist during his two-week residency at the Halsey Institute. Curated by Mark Sloan, director and senior curator of HICA, the exhibition will also feature a series of recent drawings, paintings, sketchbooks, a video about the artist's process and the importance of salt in Japanese culture to be produced by the Halsey Institute, and a 170-page color catalogue documenting fourteen years of the artist's saltworks around the world.

Group Show
Force of Nature: Site Installations by Ten Japanese Artists



This unique exhibition was a grand collaboration between seven institutions in North and South Carolina and ten contemporary Japanese artists. The artists lived in the Carolinas for six-week residencies, creating work using natural materials or processes and were installed at their host institutions.

The comprehensive online exhibition offers analysis, hundreds of images, video and much more.
