I saw them installing this piece of art at the H88 earlier this morning.  It looks like it's going to be amazing, so I thought I'd pass along the word, for anyone who will be in Amsterdam this weekend...

Sachi Miyachi born in Tokyo and lives and works in Amsterdam, is a performance and installation artist.

She studied anthropology, philosophy and art at the Wako University in Tokyo and came in 2004 to the Netherlands where she did the Gerrit Rietveld Acadamy and Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

In 2007 she won the AIAS Prize of Honour (International Association of Independent Art and Design Schools)

Miyachi does refined drawings and installations that are often constructions of "forgotten memories". She takes in what meets her in her direct environment and searches as an archeologist the usable history data to tell a story about the urban change and identity. Rituals and other daily actions are a important part of her work.

For Artspace50, Miyachi will show 'The frame'.

A picture frame is a container for a picture intended to enhance its subject matter, make it easier to display in a space. 'What enhances today's life?' is the key of Miyachi's frame. By a use of mass produced daily objects, Miyachi creates the special frame in a grotesque manner to emphasize how our today's life and memories have been framed in a mass-consumption society. With a site specific context, the viewer will experience to face on Miyachi's approach to the world.
