丹羽良徳

1982年生まれ。アーティスト。多摩美術大学映像演劇学科卒。主に社会や共同体との関わりのなかで、実現不可能でポエティックなアイデアを無理にでも実行する。そのアイデアと現実との差異のなかに人間性を見ようとする。また、マインドマップをベースにした言語を多用するドローイングも制作する。主な作品に鳥インフルエンザが流行した時期に鶏にイラク戦争や身の回り様々な質問をしにいく「ヤンキー養鶏場」、世界中の水たまりを口で吸い上げ別の水たまりに移しかえる「水たまりAを水たまりBに移しかえる」、ノルウェーの町中で100匹の猫と握手するために奔走する「ノルウェーで100匹の猫と握手する」などがある。また、東京とサンフランシスコのアーティスト主導の国際交流展「Tokyo- San Francisco Art Festival ‘06」、都内のパブリックスペースをゲリラ的に活用した国際芸術祭「Artist as Activist」などを企画しオルガナイザーとしても活動する。この他、近年は自己の生活と芸術との繋がりの中から様々な任意団体を組織した。
