About

Dia Beacon presents an exhibition of work by Kishio Suga who is one of the most influential figures in the history of site-specific installation in Japan.

This long-term view exhibition brings together a representative group of the artist’s sculptures dating from the 1960s to the mid-1990s, that probe the slippages between knowing and thinking. Works culled from Dia’s holdings are complemented by key loans, together unsettling habitual expectations about the inherent qualities of materials including concrete, motor oil, paraffin wax, metal, and stone in serial, mutually upholding, and at times precarious arrangements. Inflected anew by the architectural parameters of the site in which they are displayed, each of Suga’s sculptures stages a carefully framed incoherence.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the artist’s mystery film Being and Murder (1999) will be screened for the first time outside of Japan.

Please note that the end date of the exhibition has yet to be determined. We will update this event page with the end date once available.
