Abstract (English)

The curators note that the tension in Takashima’s work, for example, between parental obsessions and feminist ideals, or ethnicity and stereotype, is balanced by the artist’s good humour. Baden situates this humour in the tradition of the carnivalesque, as theorised by Bakhtin. Takashima’s use of technology to manipulate the everyday in simple but effective ways leads Baden to praise the artist’s marriage of “tea-ceremony minimalism” with the grotesque. List of works. Bio-bibliography 3 p. ; 3 bibl. ref.
