The Museum Of Contemporary Art Tokyo is showing the work of this hugely influential Japanese artist. Working in architecture, design, sceniography and sculpture, Yoshioka has developed a unique grammar of his own. The extraordinary brittle clarity and precision of his work often accompanies a weightless ethereality and a radical use of material and process. The acute resolution of his ideas and his mastery of all manner of fabrication techniques make his ideas difficult to appropriate and really set him apart from his many imitators.

MOT
"Horror is an aesthetic category that has traditionally been home to a profound skepticism about the merits of the aesthetic itself. From Roman times through the early nineteenth century, it was posited as a quality distinct from either beauty or ugliness."
- Joshua Comaroff & Ong Ker-Shing, 2013, Horror In Architecture
