Exhibition Label: "Japan Re-imagined/Post-war Art," Mar-2008, Kris Ercums In Japanese, the concept of space and time have been simultaneously expressed by the word MA間...Man’s perception of space has developed as a result of his dividing the environment into areas or spaces. And the manner of this dividing is necessarily related to the view of matter and the cosmos that prevail at any particular time in history... The unique spatial perception of the Japanese has created a particularized sense of daily life, as well as forms of artistic expression that differ fundamentally from Western civilization…in Japan space and time were never fully separated but conceived as correlative and omnipresent. In a chaotic, mixed condition, space could not be perceived independently of the element of time. Likewise time was not abstracted as a regulated, homogenous flow, but rather was believed to exist only in relation to movements or spaces. ~ Isozaki Arata 磯崎新 (born 1931), “Space-Time in Japan—MA,” 1979
