As we search for a standard punch line to the answers, which deal with subjects such as personal expressions and isms, art and the state, the subjective and the objective, and works and museums, we might conclude that distance is essential. An artist\u2019s distinctive way of observing the current state of a given phenomenon while maintaining their distance from it promises to provide us with helpful hints for creatively passing our time in the present. In-Room 12, we present new works by Okazaki Kenjiro, which was made during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Viewers will also be enjoying seeing some old favorites in \u201cHighlights\u201d (Room 1, 4th floor) as well as\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Soul and Soul<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, a work by the photographer Suzuki Kiyoshi, which is being shown to commemorate the 20th-anniversary of Suzuki\u2019s death (Room 9, 3rd floor).
