Zusatztext

The Japanese artist Taro Izumi looks mischievously at the world. He develops unclassifiable multimedia works that take viewers on a journey to the boundaries of reality.Izumis wealth of ideas is irrepressible. He designed a parcours for the Museum Tinguely during which viewers will encounter new works, such as a washing machine on a pyramid, robot vacuum cleaners, or people licking the floor. Izumis belief in the constant transformation of things is also reflected in the structure of the catalogue,. Thus, he finds a way to render the unclassifiable quality of his art in another medium. TARO IZUMI (*1976, Nara, Japan) lives in Tokyo. His works can be seen in such institutions as the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, the François Pinault Foundation, Venice, and The Spencer Museum of Art, Kansas.
