Soshiro Matsubara

Through installation, ceramics, painting, drawing and sculpture Soshiro Matsubara creates magical interiors that take a personal look at the depths of human emotions. His spatial installations explore intoxication, obsessive-ness, longing, and kinks through found objects, his own artworks, and historical anecdotes. They question perception, memory and constructions of identity through black humor, sophisticated art historical references, aesthetic dandyism and iconographic eccentricity. Through built structures and architectural interventions, Matsubara plays with the emotional and psychological relationship to space and personal memory.

For the exhibition, the artist develops a new installation that responds to the Kunstverein's glass architecture. 

Soshiro Matsubara (*1980 in Hokkaido, Japan, lives in Vienna) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and has been part of exhibitions at MOCO – Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome (2021), Haus am Waldsee, Berlin (2024) or FRAC Lorraine, Metz (2024) among others. This is the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany.
