Yasuko Toyoshima creates delight from the quotidian

On Dec. 9, “Origination Method,” a three-month, large-scale show dedicated to the works of 56-year-old conceptual artist Yasuko Toyoshima opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The first gallery room is bright and clean with the light grain of Toyoshima’s wooden works. Smooth geometric lines create an atmosphere of humor and whimsy — and the exhibition indeed has both in abundance — but the show’s wryness and neat presentation mask a profound and lifelong discomfort.
