contact Gonzo
Formed in 2006, the group takes its name from the methodology they themselves practice—one that focuses on human contact and bodily collisions. Based on this approach, they have developed a unique theory of pastoral sublimity and created numerous improvised performances. Drawing from the ideas and materials that emerge from these performances, they also produce and present games, installations, photographs, videos, and publications.
Major exhibitions include Contact Gonzo Exhibition: Physicatopia (Watari Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 2017) and contact Gonzo + YCAM Bio Research: “wow, see you in the next life. / Reflections on the Past, the Future, and Uncertain Information” (Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM], Yamaguchi, 2019).
