A public production "Atelier Trace Georgi # 5" (2020) was also held at the exhibition hall. Yuta Hayakawa's "if the ground were round" (2021), a device that circulates water with a motor and relates gravity to drawing, was exhibited. The exhibition was held at Koganei Art Spot Chateau 2F, an alternative space in western Tokyo.

Profile
Tomoyuki Miyamoto
In recent years, they have been performing works of relief using concrete and casting concrete in front of viewers. To see concrete architecture, he travels around India and visits Balkrishnadoshi's atelier in Ahmedabad. In the concrete casting performance, there was "Creating a solid image of a public building by pouring cement," and he created a concrete diorama on a large workbench. For concrete relief, we created a series called "Red Image," in which we enameled the concrete surface in red to show the light.
appeared. The materials and colors did not match visually, and it was described as a solid that did not feel heavy.
[Nito Takehito]
After graduating from university, he continued to work in both Tokyo and Nagoya. His production and living base is Saitama, where he is from. From the time students are still in school, they create three-dimensional sculptures using plaster and perform at the same time as asking viewers about their physical sensations. He has a performance called “Zoukin Man, ” in which he cleans the streets in a costume made of Zoukin, and has expanded his expression to a way that does not stick to sculptural three-dimensional works such as images and photographs. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of performances with themes of body, weight and gravity that require audience participation.
Hayakawa Yuta
Students have presented a device installation using water, and repeated experiments and developments. His representative work is Shishiodoshi, which catches a drop of water, and has been improved many times. He is also interested in water, gravity, and the center of gravity in solids, and he creates works that balance FRP sculptures by inserting weights and hanging them. Since the viewer cannot see the weight, the viewer feels as if he or she has been freed from gravity.
