Miyuki YOKOMIZO (1968~)
Yokomizo was born in Tokyo. In 1994, she received a BFA from the Department of Sculpture at Tama Art University in Tokyo. Her unique installation work has been shown in many galleries and museums including the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and the Saitama Art Museum in 2000, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo in 2002, and the Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in Chiba in 2003. Yokomizo won a scholarship from the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2001 and the same year participated in a residency program of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, NYC. Other residency programs included the Taipei Artist Village in 2003 and the Aomori Art Contem porary Art Center in 2004. She won a fellowship from the International Research Center for The Arts in Kyoto in 2005. She has also exhibited in the “D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival,” in Brooklyn, NY in 2002, “Camouflash/Disappear in ART” at the Unoactu in Dresden, Germany in 2008 and the Mediations Biennale, Mona Inner Spaces in Poznan, Poland in 2008. Her installation piece entitled “Please Wash Away” is currently part of the Japan Foundation’s collection which has been traveling world wide since 2005 in the “Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation” exhibition. Formed by the repetitive action of the flicking of lines, these series are not aimed at creating picturesqueimages. This method is sculptural, and has a strong materialistic aspect. Consisting of extreme repetition, a visual event.It exploits ultimate visual capabilities, recalling and arousing uncertainty of what isbeing looked at. Repetition in quantity, such as geometric patterns, spherical shapes, vertical andhorizontal lines are essential. I prefer industrial, rather than natural materials, due to growing up in the 60’s, in downtown Tokyo. “I wish to engage other people into the ambience of vast, “multiple-simplicity” She says. Her works have been shown as public art and are included in the collections of several companies and institutions such as: the Kansai Medical University Hirakata Hospital (Osaka), SkyperfecTV! (Tokyo), the Palace Hotel (Tokyo), the Domain Mall(Hong Kong), the Ritz-Car lton Hotel (Kyoto), Shimadzu Corporation (Kyoto) and the Four Seasons Hotel (Kyoto). She currently lives and works in Kyoto.
