The final show in the series of exhibition programmes at the Cube gallery within the Art and Design Library—established as a hub for artistic creation and regional cultural exchange—presents the exhibition Arm by contemporary artist Taisuke Makihara, whose practice continually explores environmental themes. Makihara created the site-specific work Arm for the 2025 Setouchi Triennale, responding to the landscapes of Seijima Island in Kagawa Prefecture. In this exhibition, as the work travels to Takaoka, it re-emerges as a non-site work that shakes the concept of ‘place’ while encapsulating memory and narrative. Alongside video works and new drawings, we trace the trajectory of the transforming Arm.
