Shin Egashira’s post-punk drawings on show in London

Betts Project gallery exhibits a selection of drawings and objects by the Japanese artist and architect who builds absurd machines from the waste of the city.

“Beautifully Incomplete” is Shin Egashira’s solo exhibition at the London gallery Betts Project. Japanese artist and architect exhibits a selection of drawings and objects that do not concern built architecture but are a narrative tool through fragments of the British metropolis and domestic life.

Since 1988 Egashima has been wandering around London - where he currently lives and teaches – in search of waste with which to build his own installations. Frames, doors and windows, audio systems, pipes, bricks... are assembled in absurd machines that represent a city in continuous remodelling and perpetually incomplete. The drawings in the exhibition belong to three of the three main series of the Japanese author: Objects Viewed from the Erased City, Beauty of Our Pain and Parallel Garden

The exhibition is open until 27 July 2019 in gallery spaces at 100 Central Street, London.
