Nobuo Sekine
Nobuo Sekine (Japan, 1942–2019) was a pivotal figure in the Mono-ha movement, renowned for his minimalist sculptures that explored the relationship between natural and industrial materials. His seminal work, 'Phase—Mother Earth' (1968), featured a cylindrical hole and its corresponding earth mound, challenging perceptions of space and matter. Sekine's art is featured in major institutions, including the National Museum of Art in Osaka and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
