Light, Shadow, and Cloth: An A-POC Able Issey Miyake Exhibition
by Adriano Batista
A-POC Able Issey Miyake is preparing a special exhibition in Paris, timed with the Art Basel fair. The show, called “TYPE-XIV Eugene Studio project,” is a collaboration with the contemporary artist Eugene Kangawa and his EUGENE STUDIO.
The project finds its source in Kangawa’s “Light and shadow inside me” series. This body of work includes images in turquoise tones, made by long exposure to sunlight, and black-and-white pieces on silver gelatin paper created with a photogram technique.

The Paris-based architect Tsuyoshi Tane and his studio, ATTA, are designing the installation. Their concept uses a single piece of cloth that moves through the exhibition space. This cloth reflects the themes of the show: light and shadow, flatness and form.

The exhibition will display the tools used to make the work. It will also offer guided tours led by Eugene Kangawa and A-POC Able’s designer, Yoshiyuki Miyamae. A continuous workshop will allow visitors to take part in the creative process themselves.
The entire project is built on a central idea: “The very existence of things is defined by the coexistence of light and shadow.” It aims to present a new point where art and clothing meet.
This exploration is central to the A-POC Able brand, which continues the work of the original A-POC project started in 1998. The brand focuses on the future of clothing by creating a dialogue between the designer and the person who wears the clothes.
