Taro Izumi
Taro Izumi (1976-) is an artist focused on installations that span multiple media, including video, performance, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Active in Japan and throughout the world, Izumi held his first large-scale solo exhibition outside Japan, Pan, at Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2017, and the solo exhibition Ex at Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland in 2020.
Izumi has focused on the contradictions and frictions lurking in everyday life and has taken a critical view of rules established by non-transparent mechanisms and the environment. He brings his skepticism to bear on conventional wisdom that unconsciously carves day-to-day life into different aspects– such as the inner and outward self, and freedom and inconvenience– posing questions from unexpected perspectives.
This show, Izumi’s first large-scale solo exhibition in Tokyo, is an opportunity to experience new artistic endeavors created for this event and the artist’s past works.
