TrAIN PhD Seminar Suda Masahiro Tuesday 17 February 2009 TrAIN room (E204) 2.00pm
We would like to invite you to our next PhD seminar at which Suda Masahiro (TrAIN visiting fellow 2008-9) will talk about his work.
Suda Masahiro is an artist, based in Nagoya, Japan and currently Associate Professor of Nagoya University of Arts. His works have been widely exhibited in Tokyo, Nagoya, Cologne, Berlin, Vilnius, Bangkok and Beijing. In his early works, Suda obsessively explored the power of colour ‘yellow’ through yellow objects, yellow painting and yellow rooms to give emotional impact and dislocation. His recent series of installation of painting works, ‘Colourscape’, began in 2000, demonstrates his continuing interest in exploring the relations between colour/composition and time, memory and emotion. Suda’s signature monochrome and disguisedly simple imageries offer complex and multiple ways of looking at the world.
昨日は久しぶりに天気が良く少し寒さが和らいだ感があった。週末、氷の彫刻がNational History Museumの入り口で展示されていると聞いたので見に行った。札幌の雪まつりのようなダイナミックさはないが、日本でも珍しくない氷の彫刻が並んでいて家族連れや子だも達に人気だった。アムステルダムでも見たが、その横に小さなスケート場も出来ていて冬のロンドンの雰囲気を感じた。丁度、博物館ではダーウィンの企画展が行われていたので見に行ったが日曜日で天気も良かったので沢山の家族連れで賑わっていて会場では落ち着いて鑑賞出来なかった。
