BIOGRAPHY
2012 年より活動する匿名アーティストグループ。ストリートカルチャーの視点から都市や公共空間に介入し、場所や風景に対して「意外な見え方」を提示する遊び心溢れたプロジェクトを展開。作風は映像や音響、絵画や壁画、彫刻やインスタレーションまで幅広いメディアを用いたサイトスペシフィックな表現が特徴で、リサーチベースの長期的なプロジェクトを展開することもある。代表的な作品として作業着を着たスケーター達が、工事現場を模したスケートパークを作り出す作品シリーズ「rode work」(2017−2018)や、展示空間に巨大な送風機を積み上げて稼働される、コロナ禍における空間の換気をテーマにした作品「towering wind」(2021)などがある。主な展覧会に「水の波紋」(2021, ワタリウム美術館）、「under pressure」(国際芸術センター青森, 2021)、「ALTERNATIVE KYOTO」(2021, 京都府）などがある。
Anonymous artist group active since 2012. Intervening in urban and public spaces from the perspective of street culture, they develop playful projects that present unexpected ways of seeing places and landscapes. Their style is characterized by site-specific expression using a wide range of media from video sound to painting, mural painting, sculpture, installation, as well as developing long-term research projects. Some of their representative works include “rode work” (2017-2018), a series in which skaters in work uniforms create a skate park that resembles a construction site, and “towering wind” (2021), a work with the theme of space ventilation during the pandemic, in which huge ventilators are stacked and operated in the exhibition space. Major exhibitions include “Ripples of Water” (2021, Watari-Um Museum of Art), “under pressure” (International Art Center Aomori, 2021), and “ALTERNATIVE KYOTO” (2021, Kyoto).
