Rinko Kawauchi has currently a solo exhibition:
Rinko Kawauchi “Cui Cui”
at the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan (until Sept 9).

Since her debut, Rinko Kawauchi has surely established her career both in Japan and overseas. Her works captures ephemeral beauty in everyday life, from life to death, and its circulation, and it has been stimulating our, not only our sight, but also all the other senses.
“Cui Cui”- warble of sparrows in French- is a series of her family’s stories in 13 years Rinko Kawauchi had photographed from 1992 to 2005. Including the newly taken works after 2005, Rinko Kawauchi solo exhibition “Cui Cui” at The Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum will show this series of the artist for the first time at a Museum in Japan.
