Marking her first show in Japan in four years, the exhibition explores the concept of transformation as a continuous state of \u201cbecoming\u201d rather than a singular event.<\/p>\n<p>For BECOMING, Oliver uses the visual language of 1960s sports advertisements \u2013 characterized by vibrant colors and graphical compositions \u2013 to reconstruct modern narratives around identity and selfhood. In this context, sports serve as a metaphor for discipline, repetition, and the internal process of shedding past identities in favor of growth.\n<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition positions sport not as competition but as a metaphor, reflecting themes of discipline, repetition, endurance, collapse, and renewal. Each artwork captures the invisible effort preceding meaningful change, portraying the inner process of shedding past identities. Through striking compositions and refined color palettes, Oliver\u2019s pieces embody both strength and fragility, offering viewers a contemplative space to reflect on transformation as an ongoing state rather than a singular event.\n<\/p>\n<p>BECOMING will run from March 5 \u2013 28, 2026, at GALLERY TARGET and is complemented by a collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/shopjp.coffeesupreme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Coffee Supreme<\/a>, offering limited\u2011edition tote bags and drip coffee sets that further extend the exhibition\u2019s themes into everyday culture.\n<\/p>\n<p>GALLERY TARGET Tokyo<br \/>5 Chome-9-25 Jingumae,<br \/>Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary GALLERY TARGET will host Adriana Oliver\u2019s solo exhibition, BECOMING, from March 5 \u2013 28, 2026 The exhibition&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[442,498,499,500,501,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-302665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
