Rie Nakajima

Rie Nakajima is a sculptor living in London. She creates sounds using a combination of motorised devices and everyday objects in the context of installations and performances.
Her art exists on the borderline of sculpture and music, open to chance and the influence of others. Improvisation is at the hear of her work.
The first major solo exhibition was held at IKON Gallery in Birmingham in 2018. She has also worked with Museo Vostell Malpartida (Cáceres), Annely Juda Gallery (London), Association de Le Cyclop (Milly la Forêt), ShugoArts (Tokyo), Donaueschinger Music Festival (Donaueschinger), Cafe OTO (London) and many others. Collaboration is an essential part of her practice with frequent collaborators, Pierre Berthet, Angharad Davies, David Cunningham, Keiko Yamamoto, Max Eastley, Miki Yui, hans.w.koch, Marie Roux, Billy Steiger, David Toop and Akira Sakata.

Seiji Morimoto

Seiji Morimoto is a Japanese artist based in Berlin since 2003 who works in performance, composition, installation and video. He focuses on fragile, unstable acoustic phenomena between everyday objects and technological media. The search for small, differentiated structures and the attempt to discover these random phenomena through and within technological media determine his work. He has performed and exhibited in many international festivals/projects in Europa and Asia.
Morimoto worked in different formats with various artists such as Takehisa Kosugi, Keitetsu Murai, Olivier Di Placido, Francesco Cavaliere, Olaf Hochherz, Ignaz Schick, Luciano Maggiore, Crys Cole, Felicity Mangan, Alessandra Eramo, Seijiro Murayama, Hannes Lingens, Johnny Chang, Katsura Yamauchi, Makoto Oshiro, Yan Jun, Mario de Vega, Eric Wong, Liz Allbee, Mizuki Ishikawa and many more.
Morimoto runs the label emitter micro with Kris Limbach and Pierce Warnecke and is the curator of the concert series Experimentik at tik - Theater im Kino - in Berlin since 2017. https://www.seijimorimoto.com/

NAKICE

We observe how forms exist, make small interventions, and place them.






Katsura Mouri

Katsura Mouri

Based in Kyoto, they develop performances and works that use the turntable as a medium. After working in a unit that used Technics SL-1200s, they began exploring the possibilities of the turntable as an instrument by incorporating portable players and interactions with light and noise. Their practice focuses on the relationship between sound, material, and space, encompassing video and installation works.
