Yuken Teruya (1973) - Notice-Forest

Yuken Teruya (1973), Notice-Forest (Mc Donald), 2005. (the tree stands between block 18 and 19 in the 5th avenue, New York) Papiertüte, Scherenschnitt, 12 x 17 x 27 cm, vom Künstler signiertes Zertifikat sowie Werkbeschreibung von der Galerie anbei. Provenienz: 2005 for exhibition at Kunstverein Wiesbaden, Germany; Murata & Friends, Berlin, Germany; Private collection, Berlin, Germany. The artist about the "Notice Forest Project": This project challenged me to create the image of a forest out of a paper product. The idea behind this project was inspired by Aristotle’s philosophy of nature, which states that “Everything in nature has its end function and nothing is without purpose.” An example of this can be seen when a leaf emerges on a plant and the stem twists, thereby allowing sunlight to reach it. This adaptation allows us to see the functional aspect of plants in nature. Aristotle also claimed that the development from potentiality to actuality is one of the most important things to learn from nature. An acorn, for example, carries within it the potential to become an oak tree, and a full-grown tree is an actualized form of this potential. I started working from this idea, and it occurred to me that a paper product still retains a trace of what it used to be when it was part of the tree and the forest. Biografie Yuken Teruya (*1973 in Okinawa, Japan) ist ein international renommierter zeitgenössischer Künstler, der für seine fein geschnitzten Papier-Skulpturen und installativen Arbeiten bekannt ist. Teruya kombiniert traditionelle Techniken mit Alltagsmaterialien wie Papiertragetaschen, Pizzakartons oder Toilettenpapier, aus denen er organische Formen wie Bäume, Pflanzen und Landschaftsfragmente herausarbeitet. Seine Arbeiten reflektieren Themen wie Konsumgesellschaft, Naturzerstörung, Identität und globale Kultur. Teruya studierte an der Tama Art University in Tokio und schloss sein MFA-Studium an der School of Visual Arts in New York ab. Er lebt und arbeitet heute in Berlin, Okinawa und New York. Seine Werke waren in wichtigen Museen und Galerien weltweit zu sehen, darunter im Guggenheim Museum New York, MoMA PS1, Saatchi Gallery London und zahlreichen Biennalen.
