Japanese photographer Kenji Nakahashi (1947\u20132017) moved to New York City in 1973, finding in the city the creative inspiration that would sustain his practice for the rest of his life. Both playful and profound, his conceptual approach to photography posed questions about everyday objects, materials, and surfaces. From the mundane, his images raise meaningful questions about the distance or difference between things, and about the relationship between parts of a whole. Alongside Nakahashi\u2019s photographs, a selection of tea bowls by contemporary Japanese ceramicists invites viewers to consider Nakahashi\u2019s questions in another, very different medium. All works featured in this exhibition are new acquisitions, on view for the first time.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"kenji-nakahashi-between-things","image":{"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-scaled.jpg","id":16123,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1952,"filesize":325857,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":700,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":46535,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-700x534.jpg"},"large":{"width":1308,"height":997,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":120903,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-1308x997.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":270,"height":270,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":14966,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-270x270.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":585,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":53576,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-768x585.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1171,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":154286,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-1536x1171.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1561,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":235576,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-2048x1561.jpg"},"small":{"width":375,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30917,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-375x500.jpg"},"medium-large":{"width":900,"height":686,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":68416,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-900x686.jpg"},"card":{"width":904,"height":565,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":62852,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-904x565.jpg"},"post":{"width":975,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":60333,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-975x500.jpg"},"hero":{"width":1894,"height":1080,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":172044,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenji-Nakahashi-Time-1894x1080.jpg"}},"original_image":"Kenji-Nakahashi-Time.jpg"},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2025-11-20 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"20","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-11-20 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"11","day":"20","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2025-11-20 08:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"20","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-11-21 07:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"11","day":"21","hour":"07","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"America\/Vancouver","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":true,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Exhibitions","slug":"exhibitions","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":17,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":201,"filter":"raw","id":17,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/17","collection":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":290,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-03-28 10:28:29","date_utc":"2023-03-28 17:28:29","modified":"2024-03-07 10:38:06","modified_utc":"2024-03-07 18:38:06","url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/venue\/portland-art-museum\/","venue":"Portland Art Museum","description":"
