TATSUO MIYAJIMA (b. 1957, Tokyo, Japan) lives and works in Ibaraki, Japan.
Since 1987, Tatsuo Miyajima has been constructing installations using LED counters. The patterns created by the lights, which he sometimes spreads across walls and floors in random, organic shapes, and sometimes arranges in straight lines and geometric patterns, can be seen as a metaphor for the patterns in nature, a representation of mathematical theories of order and chaos, or as visual poetry.
Miyajima’s works have been shown at the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Valencia, Spain (2007); Neue National Gallery, Berlin (2006); the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, Japan (2005); the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Rome (2004); the Venice Biennale (1988/1999); the International Centre for Contemporary Art, Montreal (1997); the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA (1997); and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (1995). His most recent installations include Art in You at the Art Tower, Mito Arts Foundation in Japan.
Miyajima is represented by Yoshiko Isshiki and SCAI the Bathhouse in Tokyo.
