In Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art, I hold Japan Foundation, British icon gallery, “Atsuko Tanaka – art of コネクティング” by the joint plan with the Spanish カスティジョン contemporary art center.
Atsuko Tanaka (1932-2005) advances to the abstract expression by advice of Akira Kanayama and begins to produce 《 calendar 》 by the collage, and delicacy and strength show original sensitivity to coexist from this time. I participate in vanguard group “concreteness” formed under the direction of Jiro Yoshihara with Kanayama afterwards. The expression that took in) others, her performance and installation in 《 electricity clothes 》( 1956 consisting of 《 work 》( Bell) (1955) where 20 bells resounded sequentially, pipe ball approximately 100 which I painted with nine colors of synthetic enamel paint, and was divided and approximately 80 electric bulbs gave off projecting conspicuousness in concreteness and attracted its attention.
Including concreteness, the feeling of the reevaluation to Japanese postwar contemporary art increases, but even) is big, and Atsuko Tanaka is featured in Documenta12(2007 year after the death and, in particular, is regarded as important. The book exhibition is comprised of approximately 100 points of masterpieces which I did including 《 work 》( bell ),《 electricity clothes 》 produced with the supervision of writer oneself again and reviews her step that continued groping for innovativeness.
