Takashi Horisaki
Workspace 2008-2009
Takashi Horisaki's (b.1974, Tokyo) practice is a sculptural exploration of surfaces and the histories contained within their layers. Horisaki designs performative systems and object-making processes that become metaphors for the effects of time on our bodies and our environments.
Recently included in the Prospect.1 Biennial, New Orleans (2008), Horisaki's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally at locations including the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden; Queens Museum of Art, NY; Smack Mellon, NY; Socrates Sculpture Park, NY; Flux Factory Inc, NY; The LAB Gallery, San Francisco; Collins C. Diboll Art Gallery, New Orleans; Murray Guy, NY; the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, St. Louis; SCOPELondon; and Bruno David Gallery, St. Louis. He is the recipient of awards including the Dedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship and the 2008 Urban Artist Initiative/New York City Fellowship.
