His co-created art installations with elementary school children apply youthful imagination to explorations of "the particularities of social systems and customs by which people are raised." For "Phantoms of Asia" (on view at the Asian Art Museum from May 8 to September 2, 2012) he has worked with San Francisco's Bayview area elementary school students to build cardboard dioramas of their personal hells along with a companion video commenting on their structures. His work is entitled, "What Kind of Hell Will We Go." http://artbabble.org/video/asian-art/takayuki-yamamoto-what-kind-hell-will-we-go#comments Becoming / Being an Artist contemporary artists contemporary Asian art Takayuki Yamamoto Asian Art Identity Contemporary Art Perception Exhibitions Asian Art Museum http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/7d/7d8fa4a66b54dd6c/poster-image-03.jpg 7d8fa4a66b54dd6c Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:20:48 +0000 Asian Art Museum 9410 at http://artbabble.org
