Shun Kawakami
Born 1977 in Tokyo. Establishes his own design firm, artless Inc., in 1999. His vision, unconstrained by genres and categories, is embodied through a broad range of activities, from graphic design, art direction, and branding to interactive art, video, installation, and space design. As an artist, participates in various exhibitions and projects in Japan and aboard, curates exhibitions, and contributes art to various media outlets. Receives numerous awards, including NYADC Award, One Show, Good Design Award, and Tokyo Interactive Ad Award.

Working for clients, designer Shun works on a lot of personal art projects employing traditional Japanese culture/style but from a non-Japanese standpoint. Since his art doesn't have concepts or strong messages, he lets viewers to determine what they are. He sees art as a platform to refine and enrich himself, which he believes is the most crucial thing upon his creation.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

デザインとアートの双方からアプローチを続けている「川上俊／shun kawakami」の個展が、京都「hotel anteroom kyoto」にて開催されます。本展には、近年制作致しましたアートワークを結集させるとともに、新たな作品も展示予定です。

作品では間や余白を重んじて空間の緊張感を生かすと共に、日本独自の美意識を、和紙や金箔銀箔等の伝統工芸、松や生け花のコラージュ、カリグラフィなどを組み合わせて表現致します。「白と黒（=光と影）」が成すモノクロームの美術表現と、印刷や映像、インスタレーションなど、デザイン的アップローチで再考し表現する川上の作品を一望することのできる展覧会です

12月4日（日）オープニングレセプション、2012年1月9日（月／祝日）には、アーティストトークが予定されています。

作家略歴：

川上俊（かわかみしゅん）｜アートディレクター、デザイナー、アーティスト
1977年東京都生まれ。artless Inc.代表。アートとデザインの境界を行き来するように、ジャンルやカテゴリーに縛られず広い視野で表現を考え活動している。コラージュによるモノクローム作品を中心に、思考や観念など意識の集合体、無意識の領域の具現化、日本独自の美を表現することを試みている。近年では、フィンランドのテレビ局（ch4）のために制作した映像作品が、カンヌ国際広告祭／ブランドデザイン部門金賞を受賞。また、NY ADC：Yong Gun6、D&AD賞、NY TDC賞、One Show、London International Awards、グッドデザイン賞、東京インタラクティヴアワードなど多数の受賞歴を持つ。
