Artist unit magma consists of Jun Sugiyama and Kenichi Miyazawa. Using everyday objects such as scrap wood, toys, and electronic devices as their materials, they create a wide range of works including advertisements, installations, furniture, and products. They will create a work at the landmark Clock Tower of Roppongi Crossing in the motif of a giant screw. While seemingly familiar, its scale and setting will be drastically different from everyday life, with a sense of surprise and discomfort that must be experienced in- person.
ARTISTS
magma
An artist unit consisting of Jun Sugiyama and Kenichi Miyazawa. With a unique world view for creating works by combining scrap wood and electric devices, they engage in everything from home furniture and products to space performance. They exhibited at the KENPOKU ART 2016 Northern Ibaraki Art Festival. In 2017 they marked their 10th year of activity by holding a major exhibition in Laforet Museum Harajuku. Their work, which combines an analog feeling that somehow seems nostalgic with crazy colors, has been acclaimed both in and outside Japan.
