Artist(s): three
Date: 6 Jan - 29 Jan 2012
“three” is an artist unit of three artists. They produce unique works expressing contemporary society seen through their eyes using readymade items such as tiny soy sauce containers attached to bento lunch boxes, animation figures and snacks, collecting these items in countless numbers.
In this exhibition, they unfold a transcending work by exhibiting a work in which approximately 50 thousand transparent soy sauce containers are fixed on a gently flowing wall surface, on which footage of the bustling city of Tokyo is projected as images representing the city and crowds, and having viewers intervene in an object made from around 7 thousand candies.
While using material appearing light and pop at first sight, the “present” captured by the artists through the recent series of changes such as the great earthquake is highlighted.
"three" was born in Fukushima, Japan and formed in 1996.
