Rie Nakajima

Rie Nakajima has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 12 episodes and was first played on 2 May 2015.

Rie Nakajima (中島 里恵) is one of the most experimental artists working in the UK. Fusing sculpture and sound, her artistic practice is open to chance and the influence of others, raising important questions about the definition of art. Nakajima makes pieces often in direct response to architectural space, using a combination of kinetic devices, musical instruments and found objects. Ikon’s exhibition consists entirely of new work and includes a number of performances in collaboration with other artists.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1976, Nakajima lives and works in London, and is very active especially in the area of sound art, often featuring in the programme for Cafe OTO, Dalston. Her performative collaborations take the form of experiments with small objects spread out on the floor, whereby she accumulates or subtracts sound by setting the objects in motion, picking them up and moving them around.

In 2014 she received the Arts Foundation prize for Experimental Music. Her first major solo exhibition was held at IKON Gallery in Birmingham in 2018. She co-curates the event series "Sculpture" with David Toop and has collaborated with Miki Yui, David Cunningham, Phill Niblock, Pierre Berthet, Keiko Yamamoto, miki yui, hans.w.koch, Marie Roux, Billy Steiger, and Akira Sakata, among an evergrowing list of sound artists.
