Yukinori Yanagi (Artist)
From 1986, Yanagi began to exhibit artwork such as those using ants and soil balls that represent dung beetle rolled balls, addressing the issues of “movement” from the perspective of an outsider of the art world’s system. He moved to New York and started to work internationally after being awarded the Aperto Award at the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993. Yanagi’s works were in numerous international exhibitions including Bienal de São Paulo (Brazil) in 1996, la Biennale de Lyon (France) in 1996, and Whitney Biennial (U.S.A) in 2000. In 2008, he completed his long-term project, “Inujima Seirensho Art Museum” in Okayama. In 2012, he founded ART BASE MOMOSHIMA, an art center located in a former junior high school building on a remote island MOMOSHIMA in Onomichi city.
His recent projects includes a solo exhibition “Wandering Position” at BankART1929 (2016) and large-scale site-specific works at the 21th Biennale of Sydney. (2018)
