Benesse Art Site Naoshima has announced the winter exhibition at its newest museum. "Currents without Anchors", a two-artist presentation by Kei Imazu and Bagus Pandega, opens at the Naoshima New Museum of Art on 12 December 2026, according to a press notice dated 7 October 2026. Imazu, a Japanese painter who lives and works in Indonesia, and Pandega, an Indonesian artist, have shown together before, including the 2022 exhibition "Declaring Distance" at Selasar Sunaryo Art Space in Bandung. Imazu's recent trajectory includes a solo exhibition, "Tanah Air", at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in early 2025, and her earlier Museum MACAN solo explored Indonesia's independence struggle, ecology and memory through painting, metalwork and digital fabrication. The venue is the Naoshima New Museum of Art, which opened on 31 May 2025 as the tenth building designed by Tadao Ando for the Benesse Art Site. Unlike the site's earlier venues, known for permanent installations, the new museum runs a rotating exhibition programme focused on contemporary artists from Japan and elsewhere in Asia. Its inaugural show, "From the Origin to the Future", brought together twelve artists and groups from across the region. The Imazu–Pandega pairing fits that brief closely: a Japan–Indonesia dialogue staged on an island whose art project has long used site-specific work to address local history and community. The December opening gives the museum a new anchor for the winter visitor season, when the Seto Inland Sea islands draw smaller but dedicated crowds. The announcement was picked up by design and art press within days, reflecting the growing international attention on the museum since its 2025 debut. For the Benesse Art Site, which has spent nearly four decades building Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima into a global art destination, the new museum's rotating programme represents a shift: alongside the permanent installations the islands are famous for, there is now a venue that changes several times a year and speaks directly to contemporary Asia.
