Fujiko Nakaya (Bilingual edition)

Fujiko Nakaya is one of Japans most important contemporary artists. Participating in the 1960s performances of the New York-based collective Experiments in Arts and Technology (E.A.T.), she became internationally renowned for her immersive fog artworks. First created for the Pepsi Pavilion at Expo 70 in Osaka they defy traditional conventions of sculpture by generating temporary, atmospheric transformations that physically engage with the public. Driven by early ecological concerns, Nakayas ground-breaking work is based purely on water and airelements that have particular significance in light of the climate crisis. From the artists early paintings to her fog sculptures, single-channel videos, installations and documentation that reveal Nakayas cultural and social references, this in-depth survey offers a comprehensive overview of the distinguished artists work.
