Ryuta Iida

Ryuta Iida

Crossing people's hands over time,
Sealing an old book that finally found its way to him.
A book sculptor.


For Ryuta Iida, who sculpts from old books, to sculpt is to seal. In the “SILENT BOOK” series presented at FRAGILE BOOKS, books that are said to be extinct soon crystallize like fossils on the “pedestal” that appeared for the first time. The “SILENT BOOK” series, presented at FRAGILE BOOKS, features a soon-to-be extinct book crystallized like a fossil on a “pedestal” that has appeared for the first time.

Profile

飯田竜太（Ryuta Iida）
1981年静岡県生まれ。
日本大学芸術学部美術学科彫刻コース卒業、2014年東京藝術大学大学院美術研究科先端芸術専攻修了。本や新聞といった紙を素材に言語の枠組みを外側からとらえる彫刻作品を制作。2016年「本棚のアーケオプテリス Archaeopteris in The Bookshelf」（ガーディアン・ガーデン、東京）では本を「読む」ことではなく、「切る」、「彫る」ことで解釈する彫刻作品を発表した。2007年にグラフィックデザイナー田中義久とアーティストデュオ・ネルホルを結成し国内外で展示を行う。

Born 1981 in Shizuoka, Japan.
Graduated from Nihon University College of Art, Department of Fine Arts, Sculpture Course, and completed the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Advanced Art, in 2014. In 2016, he presented “Archaeopteris in The Bookshelf” (Guardian Garden, Tokyo), a sculptural work that interprets books not by “reading” them, but by “cutting” and “carving” them. In 2007, he formed the artist duo Nerhol with graphic designer Yoshihisa Tanaka and has exhibited both in Japan and abroad.
