"In You Are What You Is, Kiyoshi Yamamoto makes art accessible, by creating a space for all kinds of people – a way of building a society.

The exhibition is filled with colourful, billowing textiles and a specially designed amphitheatre which puts children eye-to-eye with art. From the gallery, it extends out into the museum’s public corridors, disrupting the idea that art can only be experienced within the walls of an exhibition space.

Movement lies at the heart of You Are What You Is. Both in terms of the physical movement of the textile works, and also the mental movement that happens when thoughts and perspectives are changing. Yamamoto challenges children and adults alike to reflect over who they are, and how we experience the world we live in.

The exhibition is designed to encourage encounters – big and small, planned and unplanned, and through talking and playing together. Giving visitors space for action and freedom is a red thread through all of Yamamoto’s artistry. They are encouraging the museum to become even more open and accessible for everyone."
