PRS MUSEUM DAY
'Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries'
PRS members are invited to join a group visit to experience 'Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries' at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
This exhibition marks Shiota’s first solo museum presentation in the Bay Area and features work spanning installation, sculpture, video, drawing, and stage design. Known for her immersive environments, Shiota transforms space with densely woven webs of thread that explore themes of memory, identity, and belonging.
At the center of the exhibition is 'Diary,' a large-scale installation in which strands of red yarn extend across the gallery, suspending handwritten pages and creating an enveloping, dreamlike environment. Throughout the exhibition, Shiota reflects on her experience of living between Japan and Germany, what she describes as an “in-between” state, offering a deeply personal yet widely resonant perspective on home, history, and connection.
