2nd Day @ Artlink, Fort Dunree

The invigilator of my exhibition, Paul, played Irish music for both my Borderline Project and Brexit Sausages.

People often hesitate to enter my caravan, as it is typically a private space. Therefore, leaving the door open and displaying a clear sign outside are essential; otherwise, no one enters. However, today brought terrible stormy weather with severe rain. The forceful wind repeatedly dislodged the door from its catch, causing it to bang against the side. The door's catch failed to secure it properly, and I had nothing to brace it against the strong wind. I temporarily used a hanger and a cable tie to hold the door open. The poster blew away, and the caravan shook in the wind, almost as if it were experiencing an earthquake. It was dreadful weather for showcasing my caravan. I sincerely hope the weather improves tomorrow, as it is the final day of my exhibition.

1st day @ Artlink

 1st day of 3-day solo show, "Borderline", at Artlink Fort Dunree; not so many people under the terrible weather conditions of hard rain and wind. However, feedback for the show has been great! 

I finally acquired Bosco, which I always wanted for the Irish puppet, and Thunderbirds for the British puppet counterpart. I also bought Harry Potter, which is British, and a new Irish doll, Saoirse, which I found in Apple Green, Ireland.

3-day solo exhibition "Borderline" @ Artlink, Fort Dunree, Co. Donegal, Ireland

I’m having a 3-day solo exhibition, “Borderline”, at Artlink, Fort Dunree, Co. Donegal, Ireland, on this bank holiday weekend of Saturday the 25th, Sunday the 26th, and Monday (bank holiday) the 27th of October, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, not only representing my art caravan, the “Borderline Project” outdoor area, but also representing “Brexit Sausages” & “Crossing the Border” in their gallery space. I hope some of you can make it!

Shiro Masuyama's 3-day solo exhibition, “Borderline”, will take place at Artlink, Fort Dunree on Saturday 25th, Sunday 26th, and Monday (bank holiday) 27th October, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Shiro Masuyama is a socially engaged artist originally from Japan. Following his international residencies at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin in 2006 and Flax Art Studios in 2009, he relocated to Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he has been based ever since. As an artist from Japan who has established his home in Northern Ireland, he is uniquely positioned to explore how identity can be shaped by the prevailing political forces around us. Through his 3-day solo exhibition at ArtLink, he will present his three important projects centred on the theme of "Borderline", which include "Borderline Project" (2013), "Brexit Sausages" (2022), and "Crossing the border" (2010). The Arts Council of Ireland and the Centre for Creative Practices kindly support this show.

All welcome, we look forward to seeing you there!

The last day @ Rua Red, Dublin

The last day of showcasing my Borderline Project at Rua Red, Dublin as part of “Becoming Tallaght - Performance Art Festival”. It was so intense! Thank you so much for all your support Olivia Hassett, Paul Regan, Maoliosa Boyle and all staff of Rua Red !  I was happy to be a part of your festival!
