 KISHIDA Nagako held her first solo exhibition, “Catalogue” at galerie16 in 1977. At the exhibition, she took black-and-white photographs of everyday objects such as shoe, brush, spinach, scissors, biscuit etc., enlarged them one by one, and matière the surrounding area with the black acrylic paint, the powder smoke, and glue. Later, her work evolved into the ongoing “TARTANS” *4, which is based on the purpose of “Picture Book of Bird” *1, “A, B, C Star
Books” *2, and “Collect” *3.
 KISHIDA, who graduated from Kyoto University of Education in 1974 with a degree in European painting, has continued to work with an original approach of
” How far can we go from painting? ”
 In this exhibition, ten of these “Catalogue” (produced in 1977) will be shown again. In addition, 220 unpublished slides made at the time as a
memorandum will also be exhibited.
 Please reread the Nearly Equal ” ≒ ” of photography and painting from the current
perspective.
