Author: Mark Baugh-Sasaki
Title: Between Memory and Landscape. (Exhibition: Feb 20 – Mar 17, 2018)
Description: Riverside, CA: La Sierra University Brandstater Gallery, 2018. 4to. [ca 40 pp.]. Very Good+. Soft Cover. Illustrated paper wraps. Color plates throughout. Scarce. The exhibit’s centerpiece work is a 700-pound angled wood frame that is 4 feet deep, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high. The work is in the form of a single-family barrack used in the internment camps and is the visual language, Baugh-Sasaki says, “of the Japanese incarceration, its landscape and its embedded histories.” The exhibit addresses the “nuanced and complicated relationship” of links between human events, experiences and landscapes with the shaping of personal identity and the connection to surroundings, he says in an artist statement. The exhibit is influenced by Baugh-Sasaki’s work at Tule Lake Segregation Center where his Japanese father at age 14 was imprisoned along with other family members. The floor of the skeletal frame of the barrack installation in the exhibit is covered with earth collected from Tulelake. The segregation center in Northern California became the largest of 10 War Relocation Authority camps in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming which were used to imprison more than 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans beginning in 1942. .
