Kenichi Shikata

Gravity

Kenichi Shikata studied architecture at Art and Architecture School of Waseda University and creates sculptures and installations as "devices" that reveal hidden spatial structures. Moving beyond site-specificity, his practice incorporates "condition-specificity," responding to fluctuating environments. This triggers interactions between viewers and their surroundings, constantly updating the site. Exhibiting at Echigo-Tsumari Art Field and Tokyo Biennale, his permanent installations include MIYASHITA PARK(Shibuya) and Osaka International Airport. His Gravity series explores forms shaped by gravity, where small variations in material and placement generate shifting relations between elements, revealing how individual parts respond to changing conditions while forming interconnected collective structures.
