A collaborative sculpture project between Japanese artist Kazuki Nishinaga and British artist Ryan Orme.
About
A Third Map is a collaborative sculpture project between Japanese artist Kazuki Nishinaga and British artist Ryan Orme. The work has been funded by Daiwa foundation, that supports anglo-japenese cultural exchange.
The collaboration uses art making as a bridge between their respective creative and cultural frameworks and develops its own visual language to fill the gaps in translation.
By drawing on a diverse array of references within craft, architecture and visual language, the artists build an aesthetic that inhabits a third space, outside of their individual practices.
