Contemporary visual artist Shingo Yoshida, who will be in Maribor between July and August 2015 in his work stems from travelling and research of the spatial context in which he currently stays - especially its hidden, effaced, forgotten and historical components. About the artist's approach curator, Hitoshi Nakano wrote: „It would seem that for Shingo, travelling means more than simply a change in temporal and spatial distance. The act of travelling per se is his experiment, and perhaps too the manifestation of a kind of indecision, a sense of being lost. He requires distance in space and time, a journey, to sustain his autonomy.“During his residency stay – cooperation between GuestRoomMaribor and NODE - Center for Curatorial Studies in Berlin, Germany - the artist will be doing research on Slavic mythology.
Shingo Yoshida (b. Tokyo, 1974) considers the world his studio and therefore a place of constant creation. Travelling around the globe, he finds myths, legends, people and places which are easily overlooked and matches them to his creative micro world. With an aesthetic gaze and the most fanciful understanding of life. Yoshida enacts as if he was playing Hide and Seek in the world alone: while hiding himself he seeks the hidden. Yoshida received his MA with highest honours from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Art, Villa Arson in Nice France in 2004 and was the 2007 recipient Post-graduate diploma - Program La Seine of Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
