Arakawa, (born Shusaku Arakawa, 1936, Nagoya, Japan) was one of the earliest practitioners of the international conceptual-art movement of the 1960s, working within the media of painting, drawing, and printmaking. The work of Arakawa is now represented by Gagosian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arakawa attended the Musashino Art University in Tokyo before moving to New York from Japan in 1961. Following his arrival, Arakawa began producing diagrammatic paintings, drawings, and other conceptual works that employed systems of words and signs to both highlight and investigate the mechanics of human perception and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1962, he met his future wife and collaborator \u2013 poet, writer and philosopher Madeline Gins. They were married in 1965 and worked closely together in the years following. Throughout the subsequent decades Arakawa continued to exhibit at museums and galleries extensively throughout North America, Western Europe and Japan with works that grew in scale and visual and intellectual complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1990s, Arakawa and Gins developed the theory of \u2018procedural architecture\u2019 to further the impact of architecture on human lives. Through architecture specifically, they endeavored to \u2018learn how not to die,\u2019 a concept that they termed \u2018reversible destiny,\u2019 believing firmly that the architectural works that they created would have an impact on the personal well-being and longevity of those who lived within them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lyotard has said of Arakawa\u2019s work that it \u201cmakes us think through the eyes,\u201d and has described it as transforming \u201cthe usual constancies of orientation into a strange, enticing game\u2014a game of continually thinking out.\u201d In a 1988 interview, Arakawa spoke of the relationship of image and text in his work, saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

The language has its own world, the picture its\u2014the gap, that is where I want to play. When the gap is enormous, the title takes on a greater importance. The title is, of course, an additional layer of language beyond or over that of the controlling sentences appearing on the face of the canvas.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Arakawa\u2019s work is featured in institutional collections world-wide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; The National Museum of Art, Osaka; and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, as well as in numerous private and corporate collections.\u00a0 His work is currently on view in the exhibition \u201cLos Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery 1959\u20131971\u201d at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He represented Japan in 35th Venice Biennale (1970) and was included in Documenta IV (1968) and Documenta VI (1977). His work has also been the focus of major retrospectives at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.<\/span><\/p>\n
