2006년에 댄서의 가키오 유와 츠카하라 유야에 의해 결성. 느긋하게 멤버를 바꿔가면서 현재는 츠카하라 유야, 세가지리 고오, 마츠미 타쿠야, NAZE의 4명으로 활동하고 있다. 그룹명은 자신들이 실천하는 방법론의 명칭이기도 하다. 사람과 사람과의 접촉, 육체의 충돌에 주목해 독자적인 목가적 숭고론을 구축, 격투기나 스포츠를 상기시키는 즉흥적 퍼포먼스를 비롯해, 설치, 사진이나 영상 작품의 제작, 책자 편집 등을 실시해, 국내 외부의 댄스 페스티벌이나 미술관에서의 전람회에서 활약하고 있다.
주요 개인전에 「콘택트·곤조전 Physicatopia」(와타리움 미술관, 도쿄, 2017).
주요 전시회에 contact Gonzo+YCAM 바이오 리서치 「Reborn, see you in the next life. (미야기, 2017), 「풍구: 또 하나의 컨셉츄어 리듬, 아시아로부터」(국립국제미술관, 오사카, 2011) 등 다수.
contact Gonzo is a collective from Osaka, Japan, that combines improvisational physicalcontact with legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson with “gonzo” aesthetics. They work in public sites, mountains, rivers, galleries, museums, theaters and alleys may seem either a street mosh or a sophisticated dance. Besides being a company, contact Gonzo is also a name of a method they have developed by Masaru Kakio and Yuya Tsukahara starting in 2006.
Besides urban interventions, they also work on creations of installations, videos and photography and creating performance pieces for theaters and international dance festivals.
In recent years, Gonzo became the focus of increasing attention in both the performing arts and contemporary art scenes.
Currently contact Gonzo consists of five members with different back grounds, including NAZE, Takuya Matsumi, Keigo Mika jiri and Yuya Tsukahara.
Saison Foundation Fellow from 2011 - 2018.
