What's not to like? - Seiichi Furuya - Mémoires 

To say why we like it would take too long.  So here it is.  In bullet points.

  • the final chapter of Seiichi Furuya's Mémoires, haunting memorial to the artist's late wife 
  • Christine and Komyo, earlier, happier times; unsentimental, intimate and at times intrusive images documenting her hopeless descent into deepening depression
  • Gravitation - apocalyptic; blindfolded cow waiting for slaughter; Dachau; concrete wall pock-marked with bullets
  • carefully curated, straightforward installation
