Ritsuko Taho and Toyomi Hoshina are in Residence at UH Manoa from November 5 - 9.
Their exhibition, Symbiotic Environments will be on display in the Commons Gallery and Architecture Gallery from Nov. 7 - 19.
Opening reception is Monday Nov. 8 at the Commons Gallery at 5 pm. This will be followed by a panel discussion at 6 pm in the UHM Art Auditorium with the artists as well as Mary Babcock, James Jack, and Gaye Chan.
Ritsuko Taho and Toyomi Hoshina bring the interrelation of nature and culture to the forefront
of art.
Taho received her MFA in Sculpture from Yale in 1985 and Hoshina received his PhD in painting from Tokyo University of the Arts in 1984. Their work is often composed of organic matter such as leaves, plants and soil; but moves beyond the convention of the "natural environment" to include the complexities of social environments.
