新しい現代美術史
A new history of contemporary art
Chapter 1: 美術作品としての国家 The nation state as a work of art
Kitakyushu Biennial in Berlin
北九州国際ビエンナーレ in 伯林
ZK/U Berlin Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik 2012
The Kitakyushu Biennial for the grand opening exhibition at the newly established art space ZK/U Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik in Berlin, the former Railway Depot Moabit. The exhibition presents the landscapes of a fabricated idea of the nation state where cultural identities have become defunct or conflictual, landscapes located on the back waters of the global economy covering such subjects as tourism on the Korean North-South divide, large scale Sicilian cherry tomato production maintained by Romanian and Tunisian migrant workers, a shopping mall in Singapore filled with foreign maids agencies or the public housing estates built around Toyota city which are today the home of many Japanese descendants from south America. *Candy Factory Projects also transforms fragments of information and media into original musical projects, text messages sung by synthetic voices taken from scam messages and junk mails or personal ads from online dating sites, propaganda posters, or the transactions for land purchase for the American military bases on Okinawa and re-advertising them as promotional video clips at the site.
