"Tetsuya Umeda’s installations are as much about the sounds, as they are about the arrangement of everyday items he uses. Umeda’s main work is the object’s performance, which he helps orchestrate, but is never in control of” The Japan Times
Japan’s master artist of sonic visual sensations, Tetsuya Umeda is set to thrill with his site specific occupation. Tetsuya Umeda’s practice straddles performing art, improvisational music and exhibition. He creates lively environs by melding architectural structures, objects, sound and light. His richly dynamic and embodied installations are often situated outside of the gallery context. Umeda's temporal works utilise found domestic items, transforming them from their daily familiarity into a spectacle of the unexpected. The transparent process taking place before the audience’s eyes, exposing viewers as both witnesses and collaborators as they engage with his interactive performance pieces.
The Japanese artist has held a number of significant solo exhibitions including Ota Fine Arts Singapore, Singapore (2013), “Age0”, Breaker Project, Osaka (2014) and “Science of Superstition”, Sonic Protest Festival, Montreal (2015). He has also participated in performing arts and music festivals in Asia and Europe including the 1st Aichi Triennale 2010: Arts and Cities, Nagoya (2010); Double Vision: Contemporary Art From Japa,n Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Moscow / Haifa Museum of Art, Haifa (2012); Simple Interactions.
