The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art will present ‘Chieo Senzaki: Toward the Depths of the Gaze’, an exhibition of approximately 100 works by the Hiroshima-born artist, including new pieces. The exhibition is scheduled to run from October 24 through December 13, 2026, at the museum in Minami Ward, Hiroshima City.
According to the museum’s announcement, Senzaki’s practice examines the relationship between the natural and the artificial. Rather than treating the two as opposing categories, the artist understands them as part of a continuous whole.
The exhibition will focus on the position of human beings within that continuum. Its Japanese title, ‘眼差しの奥にむかって’, refers to moving toward or into the depths behind the gaze, and the museum describes the presentation as an approach to the image of the world that Senzaki seeks to perceive.
The selection will include new work alongside existing pieces, although the announcement does not specify the media, individual titles, or the proportions of new and previously made works. It also does not provide further details about the exhibition’s curatorial structure or related programming.
Senzaki’s connection to Hiroshima forms part of the exhibition’s stated context: the museum identifies the artist as being from the city while framing the show around an inquiry into how nature, human activity and artificial environments are understood together. The presentation is described as a substantial examination of the artist’s view of the world rather than as a narrowly themed display.
‘Chieo Senzaki: Toward the Depths of the Gaze’ is scheduled at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art from October 24 to December 13, 2026. The museum’s announcement gives the exhibition’s approximate scale as 100 works, including new work.
