4649 is pleased to announce holding an exhibition by Yuu Takamizawa [August 26 – September 15, 2024] at CADAN Yurakucho Space S from 27 August. Takamizawa’s work has dealt with existing infrastructures and conventions related to art. This is the result of the artist’s own experimentation with the highly customary and commercial project of the gallery, and reflects observations of the art market from the perspective of both creators and others. The exhibition will focus on several new works, in particular a video re-working of a series shown in a solo exhibition at 4649 in 2021, which questions the premise of the gallery and the space in which the work is displayed.
Yuu Takamizawa
Born 1990, lives and works in Tokyo. By interpreting the usually invisible substructures surrounding art as if they were supports in painting, he shows objects and installations with mechanisms that make them temporarily visible. The results stimulate discussion about the instability and complexity of the art world as a support. Selected exhibitions include ‘Artificial Paradise’ (XYZcollective, 2024), solo exhibition at imlabor (2021), ‘Presque Partout’ ( FRAC Lorraine, Metz, 2024), ‘In The Shadows of Tall Necessities’ (Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, 2022), ‘copies’ ( King’s Leap, NY, 2022), ‘Ann’s Research’ (Maxwell Graham, NY, 2022), etc. He is also co-director of 4649, an artist-run space in Tokyo.
