From Noritaka Tatehana’s solo exhibition “Syncretism" on view from October 7 to November 18, 2023 at kosakukanechika. 

"By inheriting things that appear contradictory and paradoxical at first glance, new meanings, interpretations, and values are born. Just as the act of embracing another person transforms two beings into one, we explore the affinity between different symbolic elements such as life and death, heaven and earth, and man and woman. Through examining these dichotomies, syncretic theories of binary homogeneity and binary opposition are explored in my work."

syncretism
noun
syn·​cre·​tism
1
: the combination of different forms of belief or practice
2
: the fusion of two or more originally different inflectional forms

Example Sentence:
The application of site-specific works of art to the surface of public outdoor basketball courts using traditional methods of sports court construction presents a syncretism between common, secular, practices in such a way that encourages multi-generational play and inspires people to think more critically and creatively about their environment. 

We are excited to be collaborating with noritaka_tatehana on a new project with go_parkey and 5starbasketball.
