>work for the CACSA's
>CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART PROJECTS SA 2005 program-
>Counter Voice in MILK-Adelaide Version-filming 33 local artists, 
>secondary and tertiary students-
>male, female, young, old, English speaking and other languages.
>The exhibition of this new work-and previously made Counter Voice video works-
>will be held at the CACSA gallery in the largest exhibition of 
>Tatsuo Miyajima's work yet held in Australia.
>
>Tatsuo Miyajima's works form an endless text on time. Each work is 
>always undergoing change and records the passage of time in its 
>relationship to different things. It's not a concept of time that 
>can be seen, but its continuous flow and change can be felt. 
>Miyajima's works visualise this invisible movement of time. The 
>artist also focuses on making the viewer aware of the clock that is 
>inherent in the human body. In 2002, Artsonje Center in Seoul, 
>Korea, commissioned a new work by Miyajima-Counter Voice in Water-a 
>video performance with Korean artists and curators. In this work, 
>performed numbers went from one through nine-zero as a number did 
>not exist for the artist. For Miyajima, zero is not a concept that 
>expresses nihilism and nothingness, but rather shows void and 
>emptiness. This idea, which Miyajima first encountered in the 
>numerical system of India circa 5th century B.C., is also the same 
>as the Buddhist concept of nothingness, signified by the empty bowl.
>
>Tatsuo Miyajima has exhibited in major exhibitions including the 
>1999 Asia-Pacific Triennial in Brisbane; Venice Biennale; San 
>Francisco Museum of Modern Art; National Museum of Modern Art, 
>Japan; Taipei Biennial, Taiwan; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; 
>and National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi. He has work in the 
>collections of the Tate Gallery London, Museum of Contemporary Art 
>Tokyo, Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney and Queensland Art Gallery.
