SHINO MATSUURA
松浦詩乃
Shino’s artistic drive finds its form through communication with others, by forming and engaging in lasting relationships with people through the use of fine art, media art, documentary, fashion, graphic design, performance, sculpture, video work, installation, and curation. For Shino, the point of artistic activity is to facilitate communication between people about who they are, including herself. Art is a tool that serves Shino’s life and what she loves most: relationships. Her loyalty to life itself instead of a perceived idea of ‘art’ makes for a very fluid position about what the word means.
Her current project entails handing out empty cassette cases to relations all over the world and asking them to fill them in whichever way: artworks, personal artefacts, messages... all the while she archives, exposes, and stays in touch. The assembling of all these cassettes is an undertaking that transcends juridical, economic, or geographical borders. Other examples include curating a month-long international exhibition with periodic happenings, cinema screenings, and performances. Consistently developing fashion collections to spread in Europe and Japan and designs spaces facilitating particular personal exchanges between strangers.
The honesty of her approach is underlined by her uncertain position between the Netherlands and Japan, in a geographical as well as cultural sense. Since the beginning, friction between different worldviews and ways of communicating has been inherent to who she is.

人生における経験や交流は一瞬のものですが、私たちに永続的な足跡を残すことができます。私のアートの原動力は、お互いのコミュニケーションにおける複雑さへの関心、また自身のオランダと日本での生い立ちがもたらした経験を、芸術的な形で保存する必要性から来ています。この芸術的な意欲の結果は、ファインアート、メディアアート、ドキュメンタリー、ファッション、グラフィックデザイン、パフォーマンス、彫刻、映像作品、インスタレーション、キュレーションの空間において他者とのコミュニケーションを通じ、永続的な経験を受け形となりました。
