Ciao! This is Kengo Ikeda-Iyeki speaking. I am a Japanese-American artist based in New York City. I focus on different ways to play with the prepositions, propositions and perception of space and time. Projects span sculpture, performance, photography, video, text and sound art, but I will make use of and research whatever materials, forms or processes to best present an idea.
The most recent works are informed by the writings of late Danish poet Inger Christiansen and anthropologist Tim Ingold. The former speaks of language being of the world, not about the world; that it is a part of nature, not separate from it. The latter has, through his comparative anthropology of the line, explored how nearly every human activity - from walking, observing to writing - depends on the relation between lines and surfaces.
