Yoshiaki Kaihatsu

Kaihatsu Yoshiaki began his career as an artist in the early 90sf. Such as composing an installation from the very dust collected within a gallery and exhibiting another installation themed on shadows, Kaihatsu works vigorously in varying mediums. Calling for numerous people to partake in his g365 Daisakusen (operation)h, at times, his projects are executed through interaction with people. From 2000 onward, Kaihatsu has exhibited three-dimensional works created from Styrofoam and lighting.
Actively organizing exhibitions and operating artist initiatives , Kaihatsu himself has produced a residency exchange program last year between Hong Kong and Japan. Fads Art Space and gallery TEZZ are among his involvement.
Taking off from his 98f residency at the ISCP (New York), Kaihatsu has participated in several residencies such as the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin) and Banff Art Center (Banff). Currently, he resides in New York.
A strong, performative element, ridden with humor, is especially displayed in Kaihatsufs image works. In documenting gHome Comingh, Kaihatsu begins by purchasing in Japan a pint of gBulgaria Yogurth. Kaihatsu then travels to Bulgaria in attempt to culture more yogurt _from his batch of Japan-made-Bulgarian-yogurt. With the drinking of his yogurt, the mission comes to a full round. Molded with humor, Kaihatsu objectively addresses Japanfs blunt stereotypes for the faraway country Bulgaria.
