N&A handled the installation of five works by both Japanese and international artists at Art Village Osaki, a mixed-use development located just outside of Osaki Station on the Yamanote train line in central Tokyo. For this project, we took advantage of the site's unique position adjacent to Tokyo’s Yamanote Line and arranged several of the works to be visible from Art Village Osaki as well as from the windows of passing trains. In particular, art collective Inges Idee's humorous sculpture of a garden gnome—with a bright red 15-meter-tall hat that stretches high into the sky—became a hot topic among commuters. The project also highlights artists who are incorporating cutting-edge technologies into their practice, including interactive artworks such as Christian Moeller's Nosy and Joachim Sauter's Duality. 【Artists】 Inges Idee (Germany) / Christian Moeller (Germany) / Joachim Sauter (Germany) / Maurice Joosten (Netherlands) / Hiroshi Yoshimizu (Japan) 【Basic information】 Completed: January 2007 Location: Art Village Osaki (East Exit of Osaki Station, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) Commissioned by: Osaki Station East Exit District 3 Urban Redevelopment Union Design & Supervision: NIHON SEKKEI, INC.
