Red ropes and larger-than-life dresses float in the tunnel of a former Nazi death camp in Ebensee, Austria, as the exhibition by Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota "Where are we now?" opens to the public. More than 8,000 prisoners died at the Ebensee camp between 1943 and 1945, mostly of hunger and malnutrition as they were forced to work on the construction of a huge tunnel network. Opening her exhibition at the site, Shiota says the theme of her work is "absence in the existence".

The exhibition Chiharu Shiota. Everyone, a Universe" (March 22–June 23, 2024) is curated by Imma Prieto, Fundació Antoni Tàpies’ Director. The work of Chiharu Shiota breathes a universality that appeals to the hearts and minds of people of different generations, and from distant geographical locations; the massive scale of her works inviting the viewer to be part of this immersive experience. The artist succeeds in making presence evident in absence, like life and death. She is inspired by memory, trauma and uncertainty; concerns that are shared by all humans. [...]The project is completed with several activities addressed to the general public and families, together with the educational programme, especially an inaugural conversation with the artist and the Memory and trauma seminar with the Fundación Rādika, as well as other unique experiences, within the framework of the Tàpies’ Centenary Year. The aim is to further the knowledge of the work and thought of Antoni Tàpies, contribute to updating the reading of his work and create new ways of looking at his legacy.

The installation art "In Silence" now in the Shenzhen Art Museum opening exhibition series "The Soul Trembles" by Chiharu Shiota (until January 14, 2024), a Japanese contemporary artist based in Berlin, Germany. [...] As the exhibition winds in the works "Accumulation", "Searching for Destination", Chiharu Shiota has walked through her unique journey as a contemporary artist, her quest for a meaningful medium that articulate her introspective narratives, questions fundamental to purpose of life and her transformation in the process. As to what Shiota would expect from her audience, she is interested in their immediate emotional response upon entering the installation space. She mentioned in her previous exhibition in Shanghai, when she starts a piece of artwork she would think carefully how her audience enter the installation, or how she can create an instant soul-trembling moment for them.

The world-famous French winery Château Mouton Rothschild has tapped Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota to design the label of its next Premier Cru. The work of art was unveiled during a ceremony that took place inside the private “Paintings for the Labels” exhibition display, on the winery’s grounds. [...] For the vintage 2021, Chiharu Shiota drew a cloud of cell-like grapes, evoking the early stages of life. Her delicate bounty seems fragile, yet determined to give birth to something inexplicably beautiful. On the left side, four threads represent the four seasons.

The Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota has achieved great acclaim for her large-scale art installation work that masterfully utilises everyday objects to breathe life into abstract concepts and human preoccupations such as life and death. Shiota explores these concepts through elements of the human body such as blood, which is a theme that continues in her latest offering, "Who am I Tomorrow?", exhibited at the former assembly hall in Kunstraum Dornbirn in Austria until November 12, 2023. The art installation is composed of over 5,000 red threads that hold a mesh of tubes up above audience members, causing them to appear as though red blood is flowing through them. [...] Beyond "Who am I Tomorrow?", the artist’s next project is her touring exhibition "The Soul Trembles", making its way to Shenzhen Museum in China (November 7, 2023 - January 14, 2024). "This touring exhibition started at the Mori Art Museum in 2019 and was the biggest show of my career. It presents 25 years of my artistic work, with many installations and shows, marking my path from kindergarten until now," says Shiota.

For the first time, the public in Việt Nam will be introduced to the works of Japanese female artist Chiharu Shiota, one of the world’s leading names in conceptual art. Her creations are on display at a large-scale installation exhibition taking place at the Vincom Centre for Contemporary Art (VCCA) in Hà Nội. Entitled "A Tide of Emotions" (4 october 2023 – 30 March 2024), the exhibition features works that the Japanese artist created exclusively for the VCCA space, as a response to the unique, poetic architecture here.

For "The Wall Behind the Windows" (König Gallery, September 13 - November 11 2023), Chiharu Shiota has turned the former Chapel at St. Agnes into one of her intricately threaded sculptures, on a scale that fills every inch of the exhibition space. Rather than entering the space perambulatorily, Shiota has devised a way for the interaction itself with her work to reflect the nature of the objects that feature most prominently within it: windows

Das Werk der japanischen Künstlerin Chiharu Shiota besteht aus Abertausenden von Fäden, wie eine Ausstellung im Haus Konstruktiv zeigt. Das erinnert an die Grande Dame der zeitgenössischen Kunst Louise Bourgeois und ihre riesigen Spinnen. Dem weiblich assoziierten Handwerk bedienen sich viele Künstlerinnen seit der Moderne.

Chiharu Shiota, known for her installations using threads, merges abstract concepts with everyday objects. In her latest project titled ‘Who am I Tomorrow?,’ (7 July – 12 November 2023) the former assembly hall in Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria, is transformed into a mesh of red threads resembling a labyrinth. The installation gives the impression of a living organism, suspended above visitors and harmonizing with the historic architecture, connected by a complex network of red lines.

Der Kunstraum Dornbirn präsentiert ab 7. Juli eine beeindruckende Ausstellung der renommierten Künstlerin Chiharu Shiota. Unter dem Titel “Who am I Tomorrow?” hat Shiota eine neue Installation geschaffen, die sich von ihren charakteristischen Fadenspannungen unterscheidet. Die Ausstellung besteht aus einer komplexen Struktur von Fäden, die durch den Raum gespannt sind und einen pulsierenden Organismus bilden, der den Kreislauf des Lebens symbolisiert.

For years, collectors, curators, and critics en route to Art Basel would often arrive to Switzerland a bit early to catch the latest on view in Zurich’s vibrant gallery scene. That custom was formalized with the launch of Zurich Art Weekend in 2018. This year, there are exhibitions on view at some 60 galleries, museums, and alternative spaces across the city. Including Chiharu Shiota’s installation at the Haus Konstruktiv, which takes over the entirety of the ground-floor gallery. The room is, as per usual, covered with red threads that descend from the ceiling, with a small circular path carved out for the visitors.
