Sadashi Inuzuka
Arts/Industry: Foundry, 1997
Born in Kyoto, Japan, Sadashi Inuzuka has established his career as an installation artist who explores the innovative and poetic potential of clay. He has exhibited, lectured, and worked as an artist-in-residence nationally and internationally. Inuzuka has received grants and awards from arts-funding organizations such as the Pollack/Krasner Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trust, and the Canada Council for the Arts. He joined the School of Art & Design faculty at the University of Michigan in 1996.
Inuzuka is known for creating large projects that address the intersection of human society and the natural world, traditional and nontraditional art forms, and art and science. These installations, with their populations of sculptural elements integrated with sound or video, are metaphors for the natural world and our relationship to it.
Sadashi Inuzaka received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI).
