Days Under Cherry Blossom

Dates: 21.3.2009 to 19.4.2009. Days Under Cherry Blossom, a show by two young artists from Japan and Britain, takes Hanami as a starting point in a subtle exploration of cultural difference. By juxtaposing their seemingly incongruous work the resulting collaboration offers an idiosyncratic view of what happens when a switch of location triggers a shift in cultural understanding. Michael Hammond, a British photographer takes immediate and lyrical mobile phone photographs of everyday encountered objects and places in Japan. Mayauko Matsunami, on the other hand, is a Japanese painter living in London who creates quirky anthropomorphic paintings of that very English of favourites - the dog.
