We are launching our new website to mark the occasion for the arrival of the
artists duo/ Komori and Seo, selected for the Art Action UK 2014 residency.
As a young emerging artist duo, Komori + Seo has been working in Rikuzen Takada in
Tohoku area hardest hit by 2011 Tsunami. Over 2000 People lost their lives in this
provincial city with population of 15,000. The entire town structure was devastated by
70 feet high Tsunami, while Fukushima Nuclear Fallout which followed the Tsunami still
continues to threaten the livelihood of the people.
The artists duo moved to this city immediately after the disaster, and now live and work
amongst the victims which gives them a very special access to the local people’s raw
perspectives. Komori and Seo’s works are accumulation of documentation and the
reflections from this rare vantage point.
We are hoping that their account will bring new insight to the issues we no longer hear
about, since the media coverage over the dramatic pictures of Tsunami has receded.
though Art Exhibition, Talks Events, Open Studio and Workshops.
Komori + Seo’s residency will take place 7th May- 6th June 2014,
Husk Gallery and Project space, 649-651 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London, E14 7LW
