The Mass is pleased to present Takeshi Masada first solo exhibition in five years.

Basing his work on a story of “Madness” and “Purification”, Masada once again awakens a unique expressive style taking three-dimensional forms, creating both sculptural works made using Cray-pas oil pastels in unconventional ways and oil paintings rendered on large canvases.

A selection of collaborations produced by Takeshi Masada × fragmentdesign × NOMA t.d. will be available in our store during the exhibition.

The Mass is pleased to present a SHOWstudio takeover.
 
Drawn to the sublime, yet delicate beauty of flowers, photographer Nick Knight began an almost daily ritual in 2010. During the summer months, Knight began cutting roses from his own garden, laying them out into carefully arranged floral still lifes. Capturing the eternally changing blossoms, colours and foliage of the roses from his garden, the resulting images are meditations on nature’s cycles, and the fleetingness of human existence. Like the Dutch still lifes of the 16th century, Knight’s hyperrealistic compositions consider the universe’s quintessential paradoxes; life and death, beauty and decay.
 
A selection of images from this wonderfully personal series have been released as part of a limited edition print portfolio. The portfolio includes 12 compositions (24 x 24 in.) which come in a beautiful, custom-made clothbound clamshell box. The images in the portfolio were shot between 2010-2012.

We are happy to present Henry Leutwyler’s first solo exhibition in Japan. Document, an exhibit chronicling a twelve-years project.
Henry Leutwyler was born in Switzerland in 1961. He lived and worked in Paris for a decade before finding his way to New York City in 1995, where he established his reputation as portrait and still life photographer.

Steidl published Leutwyler’s first book Neverland Lost: A Portrait of Michael Jackson, in 2010. The first edition of Ballet was published in 2012, the second edition in 2015. The images from Ballet and Neverland Lost have been exhibited in solo shows in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Moscow, Madrid and Zurich. His work has graced the pages of numerous magazines around the world and has earned him countless honors and awards.

A glove worn by Michael Jackson, James Dean’s door at the Iroquois Hotel symbolize the only stability in the nomadic existence of a young actor whose career was skyrocketing, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s hip Issey Miyake sunglasses, James Gandolfini’s Cadillac – his favorite possession, Astronaut and Apollo 14 crew member Alan Shepard’s golf club used to play golf on the moon, to name a few.
Leutwyler says “The people I was really interested in died before I could photograph them, so I thought, Let me make a list of my heroes and some villains and research what they owned.” (ARTE FUSE, 2016)

We will exhibit a selection of 45 photographs from Document which features the issues of American History over 100 years.
