Soda, Kyoto, will present the first solo exhibition of Navid Nuur in Japan. Titled MONO NO AWARE NESS after the Japanese idiom ‘mono no aware’ (‘the pathos of things’), the exhibition will comprise new works made using marbling techniques alongside ceramic objects, sculptures, and participatory pieces that utilise soda’s space. The everchanging motif of water serves as a key element throughout the exhibition, which offers viewers a visual and spatial experience of Nuur’s world.

Navid Nuur’s, BROKEN CIRCLE, 2011, will be included in the group show Into the LIGHT, an exhibition which explores the experiential possibilities of light by bringing together medieval and contemporary works, from ancient reliquaries and icons to light installations and projections. Nuur’s sculptural installation, a broken circle glowing with neon orange light, encourages a physical experience while prompting comparisons to haloes or orbs.
