Atsusuhi Nishijima
Atsushi Nishijima received his Bachelor’s degree in Musical Technology from the Osaka University of Art in 1989 and his Master’s degree in Media Art in 2001 from the International Academy of Media Arts and Science in Gifu. Trained in experimental and contemporary music, Nishijima creates sculptures and installations that emphasize the idea that sound, and thereby music, is inherent in all objects and environments. A particularly important resource for the artist is the city as a gigantic synthesizer from which everyday sounds are selected and transformed into a unique “sound” due to “space”. Nishijima’s work has been exhibited and performed throughout Japan (solo exhibitions: Osaka Contemporary Art Center and Ashiya City Museum of Art & History, Hyogo 1992; Dohjidai Gallery of Art, Kyoto, 1998), as well as Singapore, Paris and New York (“Citycircus”, New Museum of Contemporary Art, 1994, an exhibition curated by Laura Trippi).
