リクルートスカラシップアート部門 奨学生紹介: 54回生 山田誠人(@_mst.26 ) 山田誠人（2003年生まれ）は、現在、ロンドン大学ゴールドスミス・カレッジにて、ファインアートおよび美術史を専攻している。山田の制作は、日常的な陶器に内在する壊れやすさと、情報社会における記憶の脆弱性から出発し、個人的な語りと、素材や空間が宿す記憶との交差を探求しています。写真と陶芸を組み合わせた半立体的な表現を通じて、空間における存在や主題の輪郭を曖昧にしながら、「不在」や「記憶」といったテーマを社会の中―特に都市風景の中―に散りばめ、ローカルとグローバル双方の視点から問い直します。これまでに、”Open wide”, “Luckycharm”,”Safehouse” (ロンドン), “The stone we hold ” (ソウル), “When the shape of ___ gets focused” (東京) など、国内外の展示に参加している。 Recruit Scholarship Art Department(RSAD) – Scholarship Recipient : Masato Yamada （@_mst.26 ） Masato Yamada (b.2003) is a London/Tokyo based artist, who is currently studying BA Fine art and History of Art in Goldsmiths college, University of London. Starting from the fragility inherent in everyday ceramics and the vulnerability of memory in the information society, Masato’s practice explores the intersection of personal narratives with the memories carried by materials and spaces. Through a semi-three-dimensional approach that combines photography and ceramics, he blurs the boundaries of subjects and existence in the spaces, and raises the notions of absence and memory scattered throughout society, particularly urban landscape, and questions it on both a global and local scale. Masato’s work has been featured in several group exhibitions, including the Open 205’s “Open wide” show, Corner Newcross’s “Luckycharm” in London, Hello Bee’s “When the shape of ___ gets focused” in Tokyo.
