Post Logical Form

2011 OzAsia Festival

kira, Takasaka and Koji are three Australian based artists with Japanese heritage.

Masato Takasaka’s art centres on seizing whatever everyday material and objects are at hand and configuring something ‘new’, an idea remade. Takasaka has said his artwork is made up from “good ideas going nowhere. Does that make sense?”

Akira Akira presents various sculptural forms that incorporate both 'found' and constructed elements in their materiality. These sculptural forms primarily emerge from the mixture of specific construction processes, particular materials, and found geometries.

Koji Ryui’s makes ephemeral sculptures from found commonplace materials. Ryui playfully unfolds structural and sculptural possibilities of things that are overlooked in our everyday environment.

Independent of their “Japanese-ness”, the works of these artists sit together comfortably, in their exploration of the object’s physical matter.
