Tatsuo Miyajima interviewed by Marcus Verhagen at Tate Modern Starr Auditorium.

2pm Saturday 24 April 2010

Japanese artist Tatsuo Miyajima rose to prominence in the late 1980s with his distinctive use of glowing LED numerical counters. In later works these counters were attached to moving devices or embedded in natural materials, such as piles of coal or submerged underwater.

Miyajima describes his practice as addressing humanist ideas within a Buddhist philosophy: ‘keep changing, connect with everything, continue forever’. He has work in the Tate Collection, has twice exhibited in the Venice Biennale and earlier this year he presented a solo show at London’s Lisson Gallery.
