JINEN is a traveling exhibition with new work from Dan John Anderson, Kazunori Hamana, Yu Kobayashi and Ido Yoshimoto. The artists, two living and working in California, and two practicing in Japan, are drawn together here to explore the shared interests of their varying practices which are each inspired at a fundamental level by their own experiences of living with nature. In origin this project emerged organically between the four artists through shared inspirations that blossomed both in a moment and over time. The end product is a proposal in which the artists exhibit works in two very different yet iconic Californian landscapes: A-Z West in the Mojave Desert and Salmon Creek Farm in the coastal redwood forests.
For the first iteration of this project the artists will install their works in and around the “A-Z Planar Pavilions” at A-Z West, an artwork and 80-acre compound by artist Andrea Zittel in the Mojave town of Joshua Tree. For the second iteration, the artists will install their works among the shaded depths of the Redwoods at Salmon Creek Farm, a former counterculture commune and now a queered commune-farm-homestead and land-based nonprofit by Fritz Haeg on the Mendocino coast.
Presented by Curator’s Cube Japan, JINEN will take place at A-Z West in Joshua Tree, CA from April 19-22nd, 2024 and then travel to Salmon Creek Farm in Albion, CA from May 3-5th, 2024.
