Goya Curtain is pleased to present Shift, a solo exhibition by Swedish artist Jenny Åkerlund. The exhibition is comprised of a selection of works revolving around aspects of reflection, transformation and depiction. Working with various media including drawing, video and installation Åkerlund uses disciplines like astronomy, physics and history as points of departure to investigate the impermanent character of the visible in different ways.

Goya Curtainではスウェーデン人アーティスト、ジェニー・オーケルンドによる個展「Shift」を開催いたします。本展示は反射、変形、描写という要素を軸に展開する作品群で構成されます。オーケルンドの作品は天文学、物理学、歴史などの分野を起点として、私たちの身の回りにある「見えるもの」がその時その時に見せる様々な特徴をドローイング、ビデオ、インスタレーションなどのメディアをとおして表現しています。
