Special Exhibition
Yuki Harada : Home Port

2024.11.30(Sat) — 2025.2.9(Sun)

Making his art world debut in the role of curator for the “Lassen” and “Shinrei-shashin” exhibitions in 2012, Yuki Harada (b. 1989) launched his career with projects focusing on high-profile examples of visual culture. More recently he conducted research on migrants who left Hiroshima and Yamaguchi for Hawaii, producing the work-on-video Shadowing, which looks at the transnational culture of Japanese Americans. A figure in the video says:

Even when I set out to go as far as can
I always come back to da same place,
like one boat with a jammed rudder
That place be “myself”
I no can escape from “myself”

The eponymous work Home Port is based on a Christian Riese Lassen depiction of Lahaina on the island of Maui, the town with a large population of Japanese Americans that was destroyed by wildfire in the summer of 2023. A Hiroshima native who has also spent time in Lahaina, Harada adopted the title of this work for that of the exhibition. Thus “Home Port” could be seen as something of a homecoming for the artist.
In addition to rolling out new two-dimensional works as the culmination of where his practice is right now, in “Home Port” Harada will present works ranging from his best-known videos, installations and performances, to early paintings from his years in Hiroshima, where he spent most of his teens. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the diverse paths taken by the artist’s practice make their way back to his home port, “like one boat with a jammed rudder.”

Artist's Profile

Harada Yuki

Artist. Born 1989 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, grew up in Hiroshima. In 2016 earned an MFA in Inter Media Art, Tokyo University of the Arts. Harada employs technology and performance in landscapes and self-portraits that express the essence of society and the individual, taking as his motifs insignficant examples of visual culture. His first exhibition was 2012’s “Lassen,” thus starting his art career by organizing a project sure to provoke discussion. Residing intermittently in Hawaii since 2019, Harada focuses on cultural motifs of a transnational nature, particularly the phenomenon of pidgin English.
