What this is
White as a subject, not a background โ this solo exhibition revisits the career of Japanese artist Norio Imai through the lens of his sustained investigation into whiteness, minimalism, and the visual weight of absence. Imai's practice treats white not as neutral space but as an active material, and the show invites viewers to slow down and reconsider what they're actually looking at. A focused, contemplative exhibition rather than a large-scale retrospective.
Who should go
Contemporary art enthusiasts with an interest in minimalism, mono-ha, or Japanese conceptual art. Not a crowd-pleasing blockbuster โ best suited to visitors who enjoy quiet, idea-driven shows.
Good to know
Artcourt Gallery is a commercial contemporary art gallery, so admission is almost certainly free โ no ticket purchase required. Arrive during opening hours and check the gallery's official website or social media for exact times, as gallery hours can vary around installation periods. Photography policies vary by exhibition; ask staff on arrival. The gallery is relatively intimate, so visits are unhurried and you can engage directly with staff about the work. Allow 30โ60 minutes.
