Taiki Yokote
横手太紀
- ART FAIR - MEET YOUR ARTISTS
Born in 1998. He was raised in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Graduated from the Department of Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2021. Completed the Sculpture Major at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2025.
Taiki Yokote's practice begins with emotions stirred by the scenery and events around him. Presence and absence, nonverbal exchanges, subtle beings and phenomena that cannot be fully grasped by the eye. Yokote turns his attention to matter and the invisible sympathies behind it, and through a careful gaze, brings to light the existence of individuals buried within the collective and the diverse flow of time.
As human and non-human, present and memory, reality and imagination naturally flow in the same place, such quiet resonance with others is an attitude of turning our eyes toward that weakness, fostering a deeper connection between ourselves and society and the world.
Major exhibitions include "Frieze Seoul 2025" (COEX, Seoul, 2025), "Minor Attractions 2025" (The Mandrake Hotel, London, 2025), "West Bund Art & Design 2024" (West Bund Art Center, Shanghai, 2024), "BOLMETEUS" (SAI, Tokyo, 2024), Until Soil Unites" (CON_, Tokyo, 2024), "Rokko Meets Art 2023 Beyond" (Rokko Mountain, Hyogo, 2023), "Even a Worm Will Turn" (parcel, Tokyo, 2022), "Planet Samza" (Odaka Bookbinding Industry Site, Tokyo, 2022), "Encounters in Parallel" (ANB Tokyo, Tokyo , 2021), "Beast (Chapter 0 / Intersection)" (Kitasenju BUoY, Tokyo, 2021), and others.
Born in 1998. Raised in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Completed his BFA in Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2021, followed by his MFA in Sculpture in 2025.
Yokote's practice is rooted in the emotions stirred by the landscapes and events of his immediate surroundings: presence and absence, non-verbal exchanges, minute existences and phenomena that flicker on the edge of perception.
Drawn to both the material world and the invisible forces that move beneath it, Yokote, with a quiet gaze, lifts individual existences buried with in larger collectives and uncovers the multiple currents of time that run through them.
As the human and non-human, present and memory, reality and imagination fl ow naturally into the same space, this quiet resonance with others reflects an attitude toward the spaces in between— through which a deeper connection between ourselves, society, and the world quietly emerges.
Selected exhibitions include Frieze Seoul 2025 (COEX, Seoul, 2025), Minor Attractions 2025 (The Mandrake Hotel, London, 2025), West Bund Art & Design 2024 (West Bund Art Center, Shanghai, 2024), BOLMETEUS (SAI, Tokyo, 2024), until soil unites (CON_, Tokyo, 2024), and even a worm will turn (parcel, Tokyo, 2022), among others.
