Mika Tajima’s winter ’24 solo show at Chelsea’s Pace Gallery featured Jacquard loomed tapestries so large that the gallery referred to them as ‘architectural;’ the artist’s current solo show at the Hill Art Foundation takes the concept a step further in its handsome integration of artwork and the gallery space. Here, a new work from Tajima’s ‘Negative Entropy’ series – referring to an application of energy to move away from disorder – dominates a floating wall, enhancing the dynamic effect of the wave pattern depicted in purple and yellow. Past pieces from the series indirectly picture sound waves from computer activity or brain stimulation; here, the subtitle ‘Sound Bath…’ suggests a visualization of a healing activity, purposeful if abstracted. (On view through July 26th).
