Tatzu Nishi’s “rooms”
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi turns civic monuments into weird interior features of temporary “rooms”. In Sydney currently he has created rooms over two large equestrian statues that stand outside the state Art Gallery — you can go up ramps to view the rooms. Here is one of the rooms — panorama, and here is the other — panorama. Here is what this latter statue looks like normally.

I went to the Art Gallery of New South Wales on Friday for the announcements of the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes. My panorama shows Tim Kyle, the winner of the Wynne prize, leaning on his “Seated figure” sculpture.

Visitors to the panoramas of the Chinese performance artists might perhaps also be interested in this panorama I made last year of an installation in Sydney by famous Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. In the 60s in New York she and her teams were famous for performance/action pieces but in more recent times it is her “dots” installations that she is mostly known for.

“During the opening week of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Liquid Sea exhibition, Chinese performance artist Zhu Ming holds a number of water-based performances on Sydney Harbour - floating across the water inside a giant transparent bubble.” The pic shows the performance yesterday afternoon - shortly after the “bubble” was launched - in Farm Cove near the Opera House. Here is my panorama of him climbing into the bubble. Last year I did a panorama of another Chinese artist in a Sydney performance - Cang Xin at the Casula Powerhouse Gallery - buried up to his neck.
