They are planning an extensive open-air installation through which viewers will be reminded of the fact they exist within the universe, where they further intend to give viewers the sensation of déjà vu.
[Mé] is a three-person artist team that emphasizes cooperation and makes artworks with highly unique qualities. Its members are director MINAMIGAWA Kenji , artist KOJIN Haruka, and producer MASUI Hirofumi.
The trio believe in the possibility of a vastly ambiguous world, and by creating such works, they hope to guide audiences to the same realization. Major works include Arrangement of Conditions at Mitsubishi-Jisho Artium, Fukuoka (2014), Unreliable Reality – The Where of This World at Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo (2014), Day With a Man’s Face Floating in the Sky as an off-site project of the Utsunomiya Art Museum.
MINAMIGAWA Kenji
MINAMIGAWA was born in Osaka in 1979 and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2009. He started a form of expression called “wah document,” for which he appeals to the public for ideas and then progresses those from conception to completion. “Wah documents” projects have now been developed in many parts of Japan (http://wah-document.com/). He established “ME” in 2012.
KOJIN Haruka
KOJIN was born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1983, and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2009. She is a contemporary artist who has presented her works in countries including the United States and Brazil. In her installation art she intuitively extracts “unusual space” from daily scenes, and re-constructs it in the exhibition space as a phenomenon. Major exhibitions include Art Setouchi (2013).
MASUI Hirofumi
MASUI was born in Shiga Prefecture in 1980. He is a field overseer who has carried out activities as an active member of “wah document”. He graduated from the teachers training course at Bukkyo University in 2008 and has taught at Kyoto University of Art and Design since 2009.
