Rintaro Fuse (born in 1994, living in Tokyo) is an artist who uses various media. He works not only in creating artwork but also the planning of exhibitions. In doing so, rather than simply being skillful, he has a clear readiness, having given into a certain kind of abandonment, that whatever you do, you do it. You cannot overlook the point that at the moment, he is carrying out all of his various activities while attending Tokyo University of the Arts. It’s obvious in the case of Sota Fujii, an admirable, calm high school student and professional shogi player, but the process of reaching maturity has been transformed by information technology (on the other hand, cases also surface in which older men are in fact children to a startling extent). There is no longer any time to put off the end of life. There is no stable foundation anywhere, and making something self-explanatory only carries risk. Fuse’s art practice conforms to that reality. The processes of recognizing the subject, producing the work, and appreciating the result are perceived as overlapping, and only a composite system along those lines is offered.
