Born in 1944, Kishio Suga was one of the key exponents of the group of artists active in Japan beginning in the late 1960s who came to be known as Mono-ha, or the “School of Things.” Using unconventional materials such as rocks, timber, sand and concrete, Suga created sculptural arrangements and interventions exploring the relations of potential between things as both objects and agents, or the way that all things, whether sentient or not, have the capacity to act upon each other, and in turn be acted upon. Articulating the tensions between visual and physical, conceptual and bodily modes of engaging the world, and underpinned by an inherently performative sensibility that extended to action-events held both in galleries and at outdoor sites, such works uniquely anticipated many of the concerns being addressed in sculptural practice today.
