”Close Reading is the first contemporary art exhibition that the Ryosoku-in Temple in Kyoto has ever organized as an independent project. The exhibition is a result of Samson Young’s residency at the temple. With works ranging from sound drawings, a new video titled Sonata for smoke, and a site-specific sound installation, this multimedia exhibition offers the audience an opportunity to experience the site as one among the monks in a unique encounter.

Ryosoku-in Temple was originally founded with the aim of fostering knowledge and understanding. The RYOSOKU art program started in 2017 with the goal of stimulating minds through creativity.”
