Produktbeschreibung
For nearly three decades Tadashi Kawamata's organic, improvised installations – known as 'displacements' – have been transforming environments, utilising their site histories and found objects. Kawamata is fascinated by coal mines, as symbols of industrial power and working class community, and as neglected sites after closure. Kawamata spent 10 years visiting Japanese and international mining towns, inviting locals to gather materials for sculptural constructions, and reuniting forgotten communities with on-site sport, music, cooking and social events. Accompanying an exhibition at Tokyo's Meguro Museum of Art, this limited edition catalogue commemorates the project with photography, recollection, and Kawamata's own lectures and mission statements.
