  • Christina Ulowetz Visual Essay Japanese Modernism Across Media
    Christina Ulowetz Visual Essay Japanese Modernism across Media (EALC 335) Professor Schoneveld 15 May, 2015 More Real than Reality: How the Human Body Functions in Japanese Surreal Art The human body is frequently the subject of visual art and the basis of metaphor in written; such a universal and relatable symbol functions understandably well across all eras and genres of art. A fundamental part of the human experience, the body, as well as its functions and capabilities, establish a common ground between artist and viewer. Japanese surreal art saw a novel change, however, in the treatment of the body in visual art. The groundbreaking art movement paid no heed to the limits of reality and depicted the body in a variety of shocking, unnatural situations and positions. Surrealism saw the human body combined with other bodies in bizarre ways, appearing in impossible contexts, and even incorporated into inorganic matter like machinery. The manipulation of the body fit aesthetically into surrealism’s strange and unsettling atmosphere. Yet the deliberately unsettling choices function well to communicate complex themes. By perverting and changing the body in recognizable ways, surreal artists explored the changing perspective of the Japanese people both on an individual and national level. Japanese surrealism reflects a long history of disparate influences, culminating in a unique artistic experience. In fact, the very linguistic origin of Japanese surrealism reveals a unique and significant approach to the international avant-garde movement. The English word "surrealism" comes from the Latin roots meaning "below reality", as if the idea were something primitive or basic. But the Japanese word for surrealism, "chou-genjitsushugi", uses an emphatic prefix meaning "ultra" or "super".

  • TETSUYA ISHIDA Artiste Japonais
    www.creationcontemporaine-asie.com TETSUYA ISHIDA Artiste japonais Tetsuya Ishida, untitled, 1998, acrylic on wood panel TETSUYA ISHIDA est un artiste peintre surréaliste japonais. Il est mort prématurément en 2005, à l'âge de 31 ans. Avec des ventes cumulées de 1.037.213 $, il se situait au 169ème rang du classement Artprice 2017- 2018 (produits des ventes) du marché de l'art dans le monde. Une peinture de l’artiste "Earthquake / Terremoto” s’est vendue en Avril 2014 chez Christie’s pour près de 350 000 $, soit 10 fois le prix estimé, preuve de sa popularité constante. Son oeuvre 'Prisoner' a été vendue au 'United Asian Auctioneer Evening Sale' en 2012 pour près de 820 000 $. https://www.tetsuyaishida.jp/71843/ L'ARTISTE Tetsuya Ishida est né à Yaizu, Shizuoka, Japon, en 1973. Il a étudié le design et l'illustration à la Musashino Art University of Shizuoka Prefecture. Il est mort dans un accident de train, en 2005, à l'âge de 31 ans. SON OEUVRE Tetsuya Ishida explore le coté noir de la vie moderne, la déshumanisation d’une société au profit de la mécanisation. Il peint des personnages humanoïdes dans des environnements surréalistes, réfléchissant sur l’incertitude et le mal être. Il est parti d’un portrait de lui-même qui utilisait l’humour absurde pour parler de ses émotions. « J’ai essayé de faire de moi-même, de ma faiblesse, de mon triste état, de mon anxiété, une plaisanterie ou quelque chose de drôle dont on peut se moquer », déclarait l’artiste. Dans « Waiting for a Chance » (1999) par exemple, Ishida peint une chambre d’hôpital dans laquelle les personnages présentent des visages mélancoliques et inquiets.

  • Tetsuya Ishida. Self-Portrait of Other
    Tetsuya Ishida. Self-Portrait of Other DATES: April 11 - September 8, 2019 PLACE: Palacio de Velázquez ORGANIZATIONN: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía CURATORSHIP: Teresa Velázquez COORDINATION: Suset Sánchez TOURING: Wrightwood 659, Chicago, USA. (October 3 –December 14, 2019) Tetsuya Ishida: Self-Portrait of Other is the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Tetsuya Ishida (Yaizu, Shizuoka, 1973–Tokyo, 2005) to be held out of Japan. It brings together a significant selection of around 70 paintings and drawings, from 1996, the year he finished his degree in fine art at Musashino University, Tokyo, to 2004, shortly before his sudden death. His paintings, drawings, and notebooks are an extraordinary testimony to the malaise and alienation of contemporary subjects in advanced capitalism. A cult artist in his own country, where his imaginary world has become a reference for younger generations, his sharply critical work was presented in Europe at the 56 Venice Biennale in 2015. Ishida’s skeptical, nihilistic realism bears witness to today’s normalization of precarity and consumption in every sphere of life. The characters in his works are hybrid, anthropomorphic machines who embody a state of total technological domination and limitless subordination to a new, inescapable form of slavery that makes no distinction between work and consumption and heightens the anxiety of our bodies and subjectivities. Ishida’s bitter social satire cuts away at the Japanese postwar financial miracle, stripping it of any idealistic consideration. Although the 1973 petrol crisis briefly affected scientific, industrial, and technological growth in Japan, the country’s developmental trend was boosted in the 1980s at the height of real estate speculation, which led to the bursting in 1991 of the financial bubble and the deep depression that followed.

  • Bristling at Windows: Subversion Through Heterodox Mythology
    Bristling at windows: Subversion through heterodox mythology Master’s Thesis Jillian Toshie Suyono Tromsø Academy of Arts, 2020 The kitchen sink is leaving There appeared at one point to be a clear relationship between objects and their titles, but these designated categories, not objects. A wall was a wall, but having spent time looking at it, it drifted uncanny. There was no longer “a” recognisable “wall”, and soon there would be no “w a l l”. In the study of language, the relationship between writing and sound is taken to be arbitrary. No inherent relationship can necessarily be established between the spoken form of this name, or any part of this form, and the object it is identified with. The structures and contents of these names seem as though they are constrained only by the biology of their speakers, so what would a name be outside of any human brain or brain-like apparatus? The sound of…1 emerged from this stream of consciousness. Where my works had up to this point emphasised the visual disintegration of figures, it now turned to the disintegration of abstract representations; the dissolution of lexical objects, categories, meta-things. The segments comprising the names of the objects that surrounded me were free to go where they pleased, and I obliged them in having their new names read aloud. Some attention had to be paid to the enunciation of these names, so that they would appear as if they were perfectly ordinary. Anything less would be an insult. While this piece was initially satisfactory, it was clear that the concept behind it had not been fully explored.

    Hyperallergic November 16, 2019 GAGOSIAN Life-and-Death Paintings, From a Career Cut Short “I’m strongly drawn to saintly artists. I mean people who believe that each brushstroke will save the world or will represent the suffering of humanity in the face of a sheep.” Edward M. Gómez Tetsuya Ishida, “Kiro” (“Return Journey,” 2003), acrylic and oil on canvas, 17.9 x 15 inches (private collection; photo: Michael Tropea Photography; courtesy of Wrightwood 659) “Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be,” the French movie actress Simone Signoret quipped in the title of her 1975 memoir. Apparently, nor is that wrenching old bugaboo of so much 20th-century art and literature: soul- crushing alienation. But it is still going strong. In the early 21st-century digital age, its sources now include the terror of online bullying and identity theft, the nullification of truth by cynical politicians, unfathomable sexual abuse by religious leaders, endless war-making for profit, continuous economic uncertainty, and the ever- quickening destruction of the planet, which undeniably threatens life itself. With wifi-connected appliances linked into the so-called internet of things, forget about Big Brother — the washing machine and the water heater are eavesdropping on a homeowner’s every word. What is there about life today that doesn’t provoke a little existential angst? Tetsuya Ishida, “Sōsaku” (“Search,” 2001), acrylic on canvas, 44.1 x 63.8 inches (collection of The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company Limited; photo: Michael Tropea Photography; courtesy of Wrightwood 659) The artist Tetsuya Ishida (1973-2005) seemed to have instinctively understood the reverberating forces underlying such profound spiritual malaise.

    For Immediate Release Images available for download HERE Robust roster of public programming announced for First and only U.S. retrospective of contemporary, ‘cult’ Japanese artist TETSUYA ISHIDA: SELF-PORTRAIT OF OTHER Presented at Wrightwood 659, October 3 - December 14, 2019 Organized by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, in collaboration with the Halsted A&A Foundation Plus, ANDO: MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES exhibition mounted at Wrightwood 659 in connection with Chicago Architecture Biennial (CHICAGO, IL – September 10, 2019) A robust roster of public programming has been announced in support of Tetsuya Ishida: Self-Portrait of Other, the first and only retrospective exhibition of Japanese contemporary artist Ishida (1973−2005) in the United States. Tetsuya Ishida will be on view at Wrightwood 659, the Tadao Ando-designed exhibition space at 659 W. Wrightwood Avenue, Chicago, October 3 – December 14, 2019. This expansive exhibition of 70+ paintings and works on paper reveals the sense of disorientation and alienation that permeated Japan’s consumer society during and after the recession in the 1990s. The exhibition is organized by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain, where it was on display this summer, and is curated by its Head of Exhibitions, Teresa Velázquez Cortes. “At first glance, much of the work of Tetsuya Ishida can be seen as a commentary on modern consumer culture. Images of workers ‘re-fueling,’ figures on treadmills, ‘conveyor belt people’ and shiny snack foods on a market shelf seem to share the concerns of Western artists who have addressed similar issues in their work.

    A RETURN TO ART CRITICISM A RETURN TO ART BEST OF: VOL. 1 2014-2015 Foreword ince October 2014, Momus has quickly become a trusted reference Sfor those wishing to reflect on contemporary art at a slightly slower pace, and with greater focus, than our online platform typically allows. We’ve published features, interviews, and reviews that have been widely read and shared, and cited by peer publications including artnet News, Hyperallergic, LA Times, Daily Serving, and Art F City. We’ve benefited from the support of esteemed arts patrons including Bruce Bailey and Ydessa Hendeles; and notes of endorsement from artists and writers including Frances Stark, Chris Kraus, Douglas Coupland, and the editor of Tate Etc., Simon Grant. The publication’s initial partnerships include a content-sharing relationship with artnet News, and a main media-partnership with Feature Art Fair. Further, Momus has recently engaged in a relationship with Tate Etc. We’ve initiated a curated Artworld Events Calendar representing our global artworld centers. It’s been a good start to something of already lasting value. In an effort to survey our achievements, here are twenty of our best- read and most valued articles to date. From Andrew Berardini’s well- loved “How To” series to a frank, slightly bawdy conversation between Sheila Heti and John Currin, criticism – in all its potential and pliability – has been upheld and regularly challenged on Momus’s pages. We demonstrate our appreciation of our writers by paying above-industry- average rates, something we intend to increase in the coming year. Patronage has been crucial to this publication’s early success and ability to support its contributors.

I tried to make myself—my weak self, my pitiful self, my anxious self—into a joke or something funny that could be laughed at…It was sometimes seen as a parody or satire referring to contemporary people. As I continued to think about this, I expanded it to include consumers, city-dwellers, workers, and the Japanese people. —Tetsuya Ishida Gagosian Hong Kong is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Tetsuya Ishida, the gallery’s first presentation of his work. This is the first exhibition of Ishida’s paintings outside of Japan. Ishida came of age as a painter during Japan’s “lost decade,” a time of nationwide economic recession that lasted through the 1990s. In his afflictive paintings, he captured the feelings of hopelessness, claustrophobia, and emotional isolation that burdened him and dominated Japanese society. From his early career until his untimely death in 2005, Ishida provided vivid allegories of the challenges to Japanese life and morale in paintings and graphic works charged with dark Orwellian absurdity. In nightmarish scenes, suited figures made in Ishida's own likeness but possessing machine or animal parts are depicted being boxed and repaired, like helpless objects.
