2006 年にダンサーの垣尾優と塚原悠也により結成。ゆるやかにメンバーを入れ替えながら、現在は塚原悠也、三ヶ尻敬悟、松見拓也、NAZEの4名で活動している。グループ名は自分たちが実践する方法論の名称でもある。人と人との接触、肉体の衝突に着目し独自の牧歌的崇高論を構築、格闘技やスポーツを想起させる即興的パフォーマンスをはじめ、インスタレーション、写真や映像作品の制作、冊子編集などを行い、国内外のダンスフェスティバルや美術館での展覧会で活躍している。
主な個展に「コンタクト・ゴンゾ展 Physicatopia」(ワタリウム美術館、東京、2017)。
主な展覧会にcontact Gonzo+YCAM バイオ・リサーチ「wow, see you in the next life. / 過去と未来、不確かな情報についての考察」(山口情報芸術センター、2019)、「Reborn-Art Festival 2017」(宮城、2017)、「風穴:もうひとつのコンセプチュアリズム、アジアから」(国立国際美術館、大阪、2011)他多数。
contact Gonzo is a collective from Osaka, Japan, that combines improvisational physicalcontact with legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s “gonzo” aesthetics. They work in public sites, mountains, rivers, galleries, museums, theaters and alleys around the world,with performances that 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 backgrounds, including NAZE, Takuya Matsumi, Keigo Mikajiri and Yuya Tsukahara.
Saison Foundation Fellow from 2011 - 2018.
