@MEF via Cigna 114, 1055 Turin
performance
Torino 2017 special edition, 13′
In her actions Yumi Karasumaru combines the expressive modes of the Japanese theatre with Western performing style, as well as in her artworks the memory of traditional Japanese painting coexists with her country’s pop culture.
The artist uses her body as a screen where she projects the most tragic memories of the History of her native country. The projection, accompanied by her voice and by music, produces a hypnotic narrative due to the interaction of texts, images and sounds.
Facing Histories in Hiroshima – Torino 2017 special edition, moves from the atomic bombing, a traumatic event on which have dwelled in many occasion, starting from ther Atomic Series (1995) and Modern Crimes (1999). The scenic use of her clear and mellow voice, accompanied by the music of Enrico Serotti and the reading of poems written by authors who survived the Hiroshima tragedy, bring life to a performance which transforms the dramatic event into a painful poem.
The artist
Yumi Karasumaru was born in Osaka and currently lives and works between Bologna and Kawanishi, Japan. Through painting and performance, her research combines the traditional japanese culture and the pop one, questioning about the traumas which generated unsettling contraddictions within the collective identity in her country.

Among her most recent exhibitions: Facing Histories (MAMbo Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, 2016; Roppongi Hills A/D gallery, Tokyo – @Kcua Kyoto City Univesity Arts Art Gallery, Kyoto, 2015); Spiriti evanescenti – Dal Giappone al Mar sa d’Este, Palazzina Mar sa d’Este, Ferrara, 2014; It’s our Tokyo Stories, Mizuma Art Gallery, Tokyo, 2010.

The Museum
“The Museo Ettore Fico is a place that gives strong impetus to positive processes of socialization and cultural growth, with broad accessibility of spaces and contents, where creative and artistic languages can be discovered and experienced.”
The Museo Ettore Fico is in via Cigna 114, in an urban area called Spina 4, which is currently at the heart of a vast restoration plan of an abandoned industrial site.
Next to the Docks Dora, where numerous artists studios are based, the MEF is part of an extremely interesting social context, very lively and strongly multi-ethnic.
Some contemporary art galleries have moved to this same area; new art and music workshops found in the neighbourhood an ideal location for experimentation and research.
The MEF provides an international cultural offer, organizing exhibitions, cultural events, workshops, roundtables and meetings, with the aim to affect a vast number of people interested in modern and contemporary art, but considering some incursions into ancient art.
The exhibition programme, which includes three annual thematic exhibitions, features three different levels: the first level is focused on monographic exhibitions of great masters or on didactic historical collective exhibitions; the second on contemporary artists who will directly operate on the spaces of the museum; while the third places side by side different art forms (fashion, design, cinema etc.).
