Murakami's first major solo presentation in Europe transforms Meridian's three principal galleries into an immersive investigation of perception and material absence. Drawing on her training in both traditional Japanese metalwork and computational design, the artist constructs environments where light itself becomes sculptural mass — pressing against walls, pooling on floors, and dissolving the architecture that contains it.
The exhibition comprises fourteen new works produced between 2023 and 2025, including three large-scale installations conceived specifically for Meridian's industrial spaces. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by Dr. Hana Ishikawa and curator Thomas Reinhardt.

Meridian has established itself as one of London's most intellectually rigorous and visually ambitious commercial spaces. Each exhibition feels like a curatorial thesis — argued with precision and mounted with painstaking care.
The Murakami show is nothing short of transformative. In three deftly staged rooms, the artist dissolves the boundary between sculpture and atmosphere, leaving visitors unsure whether they are looking at art or standing inside it.
Rare is the gallery that treats its programme with the ambition of a public institution while maintaining the intimacy of a private collection. Meridian occupies that improbable space with confidence.
