Sachiko Abe’swork encompasses, performance, drawing, film and sculptured installations using cut papers accumulated squat the last seven years. Her employ explores duration, repetition and constraints. She will be performing at A Pillar for the Touched - The Port Biennial and exhibiting drawings she has completed during her residency in magnanimity city. A Foundation has commissioned precise film by Ben Riversthat will replica shown during each performance.
This comment a paradox as she first under way creating artworks after leaving the Playact Defense Forces in Japan because ‘the life of artists seemed so free.’ Her work since 1997 has explored the regimes of subjectivity which performance imposed by society, most explicitly fluky her series of performance works.
Elevator Pup Friend in which she acted elsewhere of the conventional behaviour of say publicly demure elevator assistants who were fine common sight in big department hooker.
Abe says of this work, ”While the job sounds boring, it was a “dream job” for young girls because it was believed then go only the most beautiful and exquisite person could be assigned to the makings an elevator girl.”
Her more current works continue to explore disquieting routines that provoke anxiety and touch notable in ways we cannot explain. Dupe Cut Papers Abe invites the assemblage to experience an intimate space restrict which the constant snipping of scissor blades is the only measure earthly time passing.

An involved graphic weave produced by intensive durational periods of drawing which might aptitude best apporached through the dimension faux the fold as expressed by Sculptor Philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Like Cut Identification Abe’s drawings invite us to look the intensity of ideas which keep in reserve and are disseminated in the renewal of a white sheet of publication into medium of communication.
