Present Arms/Arc-Type

source: highlike

Work: “Present Arms” “Present Arms” announced in 2002 is a piece made with emotions of dedicating to a certain musician, as the title literally. It is also a try using sculpture to challenge music, a type of media with immediateness and is the extreme opposite of sculpture. Yoshihiko SATOH intends to broaden the image that “The sculpture equals a solid substance.” What he seeks to achieve by his work is to realize the concept of making sculpture an actual object shared by both the viewers and the space. Regarding the concept, Yoshihiko SATOH encountered the possibility, which is the guitar that he plays as a change when he works. As he noticed that the time he spent playing the guitar exceeded the time he spent working, the idea of “Present Arms” arose. He figured out that the symbol that the guitar has works perfectly as a point of action for his concept. He started to examine what he actually wanted to do and make, furthermore the relationship between himself and the whole society. At that time, outweighing the meaning of being an instrument, to Yoshihiko SATOH, the guitar has become an existence of a personal plaything, a product, more essentially a piece of sculpture. If explaining “Present Arms” from the point of view of “product”, Yoshihiko SATOH interprets the motif, guitars made by Fenders, the reasonable design made for mass production. It is a design which will let people imagine the social background back in the 60’s, when the United States was vaguely thought of as a powerful nation. On the other hand, it is an object that reminds Yoshihiko SATOH of the music that came along with the United States Forces stationed at his home town, Asaka, Saitama. In fact, FEN(Far East Network) was stationed at Asaka until 1973. While the United States was writing history with weapons such as atom bombs at that time, it could be assumed that rock music, as a kind of culture, also occupied Japanese people’s aesthetic sense. Against this fact, Yoshihiko SATOH tried to discover the Japanese aesthetic sense disguised in the flow of American culture. Through the stratocaster devised with multiplied necks implying amplifying American culture, “Present Arms” is the result of realization.

Yoshihiko Satoh takes mass-produced goods that have become part of our every day life, enlarges and/or multiplies them, creating sculptures that unleash the energy residing in their function and shape. In 2002, he won the KIRIN ART AWARD Grand Prix for “Present Arms”, a 12-neck guitar conceived as a challenge to a rock guitarist he idolizes. In 2005 he placed second at the 6th Spiral Independent Creators Festival. Born in 1968, Satoh lives in Saitama, Japan and has a Masters degree from the Tokyo National University of Fine Art & Music.

Candy Apple Red challenge to the media of the counter electrode with a fast-acting sculpture that music. Feelings rather than the sense of three-dimensional sculpture =, that want to establish in the context and the viewer to share the space of “in kind”. By presenting is symbolized by Strasburg caster with a neck that grew, the American culture that has been amplified, this ArcType that has evolved from there, trying to find a sense of beauty of the two countries hidden dwells in Japanese culture.

Japanese artist Yoshihiko Satoh takes mass-produced goods and alters or multiplies them to “unleash the energy residing in their function and shape”. Or, simply speaking, he multiples them by awesome. His guitar sculptures above are by far his most impressive works, however he’s also experimented with exaggerated length in irons, toy trucks, and even functional mopeds.

彫刻が音楽という即効性のある対極のメディアへの挑戦。彫刻＝立体という意識ではなく、観る者と空間を共有する「現物」という意味あいで成立させたいという想い。そこから発展したこのArcTypeは、増殖したネックをもつストラスキャスターによって象徴される、増幅されたアメリカ文化を提示することによって、日本文化に宿る隠された二国の美意識を見出そうとしている。
