Galerie Christophe Gaillard Brussels is delighted to present an exhibition devoted to the Japanese avant-garde artist Tetsumi Kudo (1935-1990). Tetsumi Kudo is considered one of the key figures of the radical Anti-Art movement in Tokyo and is closely associated with the New Realists in Europe. The artist’s oeuvre also continues to exert an important influence on contemporary art practices.
‘Art must be one of the media that serve to provoke doubt and defiance in us: it is a provocative communi- cation between you and me, who are living in the septic pit of technology. In this sense, art is a maquette through which we reflect, and question everything. Doubt everything. What is our place in the universe? What is human freedom in the universe? What is individual freedom in society?’ (Tetsumi Kudo, Paris, 1971)
