Original Content
開催日時: 2026年4月10日 〜 2026年5月15日 Dennis Lin (b. 1976) is a Canadian-Taiwanese sculptor based in Toronto. Working across a wide range of materials, Lin has developed a practice that includes mobile, relief, and standing sculpture. This exhibition, his first solo presentation in Japan, brings together works formed from materials that reflect ruptures between the personal and the cultural. Through elements of longing, memory, and ceremonial gesture, they coalesce into a unified spatial experience. Waiting. Still. is shaped by care, absence, and devotion. Charcoal and fire-scarred stone recovered from a house fire are preserved alongside paper salvaged from his grandfather’s paper factory in Taiwan, a lineage now nearing its end. The exhibition space takes on the atmosphere of an altar imbued with the scent of incense, a site of continuous, sacred offering. Each element seems to hold memory within it, quietly sustaining traces of tradition and lived experience. Lin’s practice unfolds through sustained, repetitive processes. Cutting, shaping, casting in bronze, and continual handling become ways of remaining with what feels fleeting. The labor is slow and deliberate, offering solace rather than resolution. Through repetition, gesture becomes meditation. At a broader scale, the work reflects an ongoing meditation on Taiwanese identity and the vulnerability of culture under geopolitical pressure. Gathering and tending to these materials mirrors a desire to preserve histories and practices that feel increasingly precarious. In doing so, Lin cultivates a connection to spirituality and loss, offering moments of reflection that bridge personal, cultural, and collective histories. In an age defined by uncertainty, these works function as both repositories of heritage and quiet gestures of resistance, sustaining what is fragile and ephemeral through care and time.
