Kaya, Hanasaki has been awarded 2012 ARt Action. Respite Residency in UK, supported by ACG

パフォーマンス及びインスタレーションを作家活動の中心として、3.11以降反原発運動など社会活動にもアートを通して関わってきている若手作家。日本の震災後の現状をロンドン及びグリーンベルトにおいて英国現地のアーチスト・観客との関わりの中にて、どのような形で発信し、相互理解の可能性を広げていけるかが期待されます。


Hanasaki  was born in Japan,1987. MA Tokyo National Univ. of Fine Arts and Music. Hanasaki’s art practice is both performative and  installational. She deals with difficult socio political issues without compromise. Hanasaki has been active in raising questions about the issues of the Nuclear Disaster in Tohoku, coordinating Symposium “10months after 3.11”. We are hoping Hanasaki might be able to inform UK audience about this difficult issue through young Japanese artist perspectives while she is in UK having short respite from ongoing problems in Japan.
