Ujino
March 17, 2009
Further upriver at the Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre was a quite enjoyable installation by the Japanese artist, Ujino Muneteru, who in 2003 formed a “band “ called Rotators consisting of household appliances (blenders, power tools, lamps) all controlled by a DJ record platter fitted out with pegs like a player piano. The marvelous “music” and “action” called to mind the fancy of Jean Tinguely’s mechaniques and the ideas of the Italian Futurists.
