Ever-eager to expand his international horizons, Shrigley also staged an exhibition at Art Tower Mito in Ibaragi, Japan, during the 2017-2018 period.

As evident in his installations skewering the systems around exhibition of artworks, Shrigley draws on the intellectual playfulness found in the likes of Marcel Duchamp and conceptual art to create works replete with an upbeat nonsensicality and sense of humor far removed from the air of abstruseness that many see as characterizing contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>Based on his belief that art is for everyone, Shrigley seems to be striving to open up possibilities for art as common ground for people. His works, which have also been described as childlike, are indeed aimed at all people, including children. Don\u2019t miss this chance to experience the artistic realm of David Shrigley in all its outside-the-box originality and criticality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>*The exhibition will be closed from Thursday, December 28, 2023 to Friday, January 19, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-36943 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--745x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--109x150.jpg 109w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--768x1055.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley--1118x1536.jpg 1118w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2023\/11\/27180357\/Untitled-2023-cDavid-Shrigley-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>David Shrigley, Untitled, 2023, (c)David Shrigley, Courtesy of Stephen Friedman Gallery, London and Yumiko Chiba Associates, Tokyo<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yumiko Chiba Associates<br \/>\nROPPONGI HILLS Hollywood Beauty Plaza 3rd Floor,<br \/>\n6-4-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0032, Japan<br \/>\n+81-3-6276-6731<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ycassociates.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WEBSITE<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yumikochibaassociates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[50,51],"class_list":["post-36940","insights","type-insights","status-publish","hentry","category-insight","category-stories"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ko","en"],"languages":{"ko":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/36940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/insights"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
