The same actions, repeated across an expanse of time.\n\nAction accumulates in material. Material is transformed by action. This exchange is not a process in which the artist's intention governs the medium—it is one in which repetition itself generates a relationship between the two that could not have been decided in advance. Something unreachable through a single contact begins to emerge, gradually, within the accumulation of return.\n\nIn Uematsu's practice, repetition is not the doing of the same thing. To cut is to cut upon the trace of the previous cut. To dye is to lay color over what has already received it. To press is to inherit the minute deformation left by the pressure before. Each action accumulates; each accumulation alters the conditions of the next. The same gesture is never the same gesture twice.\n\nWithin this structure, what Uematsu pursues is neither efficiency of making nor the completion of expression. It is the perceptual circuit that opens only through sustained contact with the world—contact maintained across an almost unreasonable duration. The work exists as the trace of that circuit having passed through.", "cv": [ { "section": "Education" }, { "year": "2018", "entries": [ "B.F.A., Sculpture Course, Department of Fine Arts, College of Art, Nihon University" ] }, { "year": "2020", "entries": [ "M.F.A., Sculpture, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts" ] }, { "year": "2023", "entries": [ "Ph.D., Sculpture, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts" ] }, { "section": "Solo Exhibitions" }, { "year": "2025", "entries": [ "Sayuragi, aaploit, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2024", "entries": [ "Furitsumu, Nazukari Warehouse, Chiba", "Floating on the Moon, aaploit, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2023", "entries": [ "Nomura Art Prize Special Exhibition, aaploit, Tokyo" ] }, { "section": "Group Exhibitions" }, { "year": "2023", "entries": [ "P.O.N.D. 2023 Dialogue: Encountering New Conversations, Shibuya PARCO, Tokyo", "Nomura Art Prize Commemorative Exhibition, Tekko Building, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2022", "entries": [ "Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts Doctoral Examination Exhibition 2022, University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2021", "entries": [ "Yanase Sanso and Sculpture, Yanase Villa, Saitama" ] }, { "year": "2020", "entries": [ "The 68th Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation Exhibition, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo Geidai Arts in Marunouchi, Marunouchi Building, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2019", "entries": [ "Stone, Earth, Metal: Amidst Diverse Materials, gallery SOL, Tokyo", "tokunsterlem, University of Münster, Münster, Germany", "Kitano Lifelong Education Foundation Sculpture Scholarship Exhibition, College of Art, Nihon University, Tokyo" ] }, { "year": "2018", "entries": [ "Five Art Universities of Tokyo Joint Graduation Exhibition, The National Art Center, Tokyo" ] }, { "section": "Collections" }, { "year": "2022", "entries": [ "The University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts" ] }, { "year": "2021", "entries": [ "Charm Care Gotenyama, Entrance" ] }, { "year": "2019", "entries": [ "Okubo Iyashi no Mori Park, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi" ] }, { "year": "2018", "entries": [ "Nishi-Magome V Project [Asile Court Nishi-Magome], Condominium Entrance" ] }, { "section": "Awards" }, { "year": "2024", "entries": [ "Selected for the 17th \"ART IN THE OFFICE\"" ] }, { "year": "2023", "entries": [ "Terrace Art Shonan Award 2023, Grand Prix Nomura Art Prize" ] }, { "year": "2020", "entries": [ "Geidai Arts in Marunouchi 2020, Mitsubishi Estate Prize" ] }, { "year": "2019", "entries": [ "Hirayama Ikuo Scholarship" ] }, { "year": "2018", "entries": [ "Kitano Lifelong Education Foundation Sculpture Scholarship" ] }, { "year": "2017", "entries": [ "International Takifuji Art Award, Special Prize" ] }, { "section": "Media" }, { "year": "2024", "entries": [ "Interview featured on ArtSticker — https://artsticker.app/events/31736" ] }, { "year": "2023", "entries": [ "Interview featured in Bijutsu no Mado No. 476, May 2023 issue" ] }, { "section": "Other Activities" }, { "year": "2024", "entries": [ "Artwork displayed at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry" ] }, { "year": "2019", "entries": [ "Kamiyama Art in Hotel", "Residency International Sculpture Research Project (Münster, Germany)", "Residency Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.", "Artwork Rental (May 2019 – May 2020) Tokai Saruku (Nobeoka, Miyazaki).
