As the third phase of "Reflecting the Sharing Moment", "The Island" has invited 15 artists/groups to create an ongoing discussion on the impact of the pandemic/post-pandemic era on individuals, lives, relationships, and society in different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
In this section, we would like to introduce artists Hideho TANAKA and QIANG Yong, as well as their artistic reflections to the year 2020.
Hideho TANAKA｜田中秀穗
"This period may become a more positive milestone on the road of human symbiosis."
Hideho Tanaka
Born in 1942 in Chiba-ken, Japan
Professor and Former Director and Doctoral Supervisor of Fiber Art in Crafts and Industry Design Department in Tokyo Musashino Art University, and Fiber Art Teaching and Research Section of Graduate School of Fine Arts, Director of Japan Fiber Art and Dyeing Association, (Legal Representative of Financial Institution) Member of Japan Craft Design Committee and Member of Japan Modern Jewelry Design Review Committee, etc.
Mr. Hideho Tanaka is a famous Japanese fiber artist. In his youth, he experienced a period of vigorous development of Japanese modern art, which has had a very important influence on his artistic path. In his early years, he studied modern art in the United States, and has traveled to various countries. He drew nourishment from traditional dyeing and weaving techniques and modern fiber art around the world, which has a profound influence on his personal artistic creations and teaching. His creations focus on the discussion of the relationship among man, nature and society, and he focuses on thinking about the universe, mankind, environment and other propositions such as circulation, movement, disappearance, rebirth, reconstruction, accident, inevitability, unpredictability. Meanwhile, topics such as repetition, among others, are always his concern. His artistic trend has evolved from focusing on Western art in his youth, and later re-examining Japanese modern art. He gradually established a foothold in the East, infiltrating the unique Japanese cultural genes such as “loneliness”, “wabi”, “secluded”, and “xuan” into his artistic creations. At the same time, he is fascinated by the ancient principles that everything restrains through each other, as well as the ancient Chinese Lao Zhuang’s thought (Taoism). He is a Japanese artist who combines Eastern and Western aesthetic concepts with expressions to form a unique artistic style. He is a senior figure in the fiber art world in Japan today, and is also a well-known art educator, theorist and art curator. He has written more than forty essays and monographs.
Since the beginning of the 1970s, he has held more than 40 solo exhibitions in Japan and abroad and participated in more than 150 exhibitions around the world. Among the famous are the Hamamatsu Open-air Exhibition in Japan, The Lausanne International Tapestry Biennials in Switzerland, the International Wall Hanging Exhibition,Armory Show in the U.S., ANNUAL BASKETRY in the U.S., MINI-TEXTILE INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARI ART EXHIBITION in Spain, MINITEXTIL COMO in Italy, Japanese & Korea Contemporary Fiber Art, etc. The most famous exhibitions curated by him are TODAY' S ART TEXTILE, and TODAY' S ART TEXTILE Touring Exhibition in Japan. His works are collected by art museums, museums and galleries in Japan, the United States, France, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, South Korea, Mexico, the Philippines and so on.

Emerging-6 39x49cm Painting and inkjet printing on cotton and Japanese paper
While the pandemic of COVID-19 is still spreading around the world, CAFA ART INFO decided to hold an online exhibition themed on “Reflecting the Sharing Moment” which has instantly connected artists thousands of miles away from each other. This is an interesting, warm and beautiful event.
The advent of the pandemic reminded me of the artistic activities that I have embarked on from when I was young. All I wanted to express were questions about eternity and I also tried to pursue the theme of eternity through artistic expressions.

I often use the all-encompassing ancient principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint to express my creation. The profound thinking represented by this relation has had a significant impact on me. The outbreak of the pandemic in 2020 might remind us of the need to confront in a more humble way with the environment and groups. In this way, this period may become a more positive milestone on the road of human symbiosis.
For me who has engaged in art and design, the boundary between art and design is not so clear. From the perspective of life, whether it is natural or man-made, I have held the same attitude towards everything that is produced. I also often think about why I finally use fiber materials for creation. The charm of fiber materials attracts me as much as the creation of paintings out of a pure motive. I always look forward to one day becoming a presenter who is not bound by a certain field.

The materials of works are different and the environment of their existence is different, the form and time are entangled, thus they will eventually change and deteriorate and in the end disappear. Works drawn or produced will equally experience the process of extinction. My creative focus has gradually shifted to a way of expression that changes with time—circulation. My work at the Hamamatsu Field Art Exhibition in 1984 was the first step towards this idea, which also solved my previous questions a little bit. At that time, the sewn Sindhu kapok cloth was used, combined with the sand dunes on the seashore and burned with fire. The carbonized kapok finally returned to the atmosphere. The phenomena and power I experienced on the beach are still fresh in my memory. Like a child, I communicated with the earth through games. In the future, I will choose the venue based on the difference between outdoor and indoor, and combine art and design to express my ideas.

When confronted with a piece of white cloth and thread to produce results (works) through the intervention of the subject of consciousness, I am especially concerned about sharing it with time. Because in the process, I will encounter uncertain accidents at that time. This state of being immersed in unpredictable anxiety, fun and determination and the elements that just appear to be homogenous with ideas makes me fascinated. At that time, I strongly felt an extreme and uncontrollable existence of elements. The result is that when I create, I will naturally accept the invisible power brought about by accidents. Then I expand and extend the stimulation brought by the five senses to the plane, three-dimensional space, the process makes me continue to try to include the comprehensive expression of language, form and body.
Our pursuit of wealth has consumed too much energy. The COVID-19 is only one part of it. The pandemic is a reminder that human beings are carrying huge risks. We can only accept it frankly with the concept of coexistence and symbiosis. In today’s society, mankind can only use wisdom and knowledge to work hard with the dream of “efforts”, I think this should be overcome! At this moment, it reminds me of what Mr. Kawabata Yasunari said to me when I just became a teacher: Mr. Tanaka, just pay close attention to your students!
Now, what I want to show is rebirth, I keep looking for points that disappear and points that move. My creation is similar to farm work, which is to show the intention of the work through repeated work. Every time it seems to be creating a little poem, happiness is beyond my words!

Public Opinion 166x246cm Ink and wash, sewing and newspaper 2020
When the pandemic was severe, I stayed at home. World affairs were being relayed through the news and mobile phones. When the pandemic spread, in addition to the senses facing the outside world there requires more imagination to connect clues, which seems to have become an invisible but closer connection, and such connection is very personal. Everyone is accustomed to finding answers in reality, but the answers approved by ourselves seem to exist only in self-recognition and identification. Various groups of people have different views on the pandemic, just as everyone’s appearance is different with masks—the same answer does not seem to exist. At this time, I realized that what actually happened seemed to be covered by a certain illusory color, and the imagination had a specific concreteness. Everything is always between "almost" and "seems". In this way, within a specific time and space background, the existence and illusion, reality and imagination, are connected with the help of individual thinking and the reappearance of virtual pictures. You can hardly confirm the boundary between reality and illusion. It seems that you want to define it, but it is rather difficult to distinguish.

Like when newspapers overlap with the pictures attached to them, the words and graphics are hard to distinguish. During the pandemic, the world is still familiar, but this familiarity is like meeting an acquaintance wearing a mask on the road, and it cannot be immediately recognized.
Human organs are so interesting. When one of them is shadowed, the body will stimulate the sensitivity of the other organs to link thinking and imagination. However, over time, will the acuity that people are initially excited by a certain event become dull, numb, and paralyzed? Will it go back to the closed loop of accustomed and inconsistent once again?

End Point 37.5x53cm Ink and wash on newspaper 2020
Under the pandemic, we get used to wearing masks. By doing so, the action of wearing a mask has become a symbol of our lifestyle, which has invisibly gathered into a symbolic continuous pattern.
Staying at home allows me to understand the real meaning of the virtual sentence, "Let the mind plug the wings of imagination".
