Tadasu Takamine "God Bless America", 2001 A Creator Who Transcends Contemporary Art, Performance... and Every Other Genre Confronting questions that arise out of everyday life, Takamine transforms and sublimates them as a work in the process of dealing with them. Reflecting issues that face contemporary society, such as ecology and recycling, his works pose life-sized questions regarding irrational aspects of society faced by artists and also function as a kind of challenge. This exhibition provides a heretofore unknown opportunity to survey from important works such as God Bless America (2002) and Baby Insa-dong (2004) from the early '00s to his latest efforts, which reflect Takamine's assimilation of locals elements such as place and participants, and give form to his current interests. With his eyes fixed on the contradictions and irrational aspects contained in human actions, Takamine produces vivid expressions imbued with criticism and humor.
