KURODA Daisuke

Born in 1982 in Kyoto Prefecture, where he lives and works. Kuroda studied sculpture at Hiroshima City University, completing the doctoral program at its graduate school. In 2012 he co-founded the artist-run space Hiroshima Art Center with other Hiroshima-based sculptors, and was involved in its operation until it ceased activities in 2024. In 2019-20, he spent a year in Fort Worth, USA, on a grant from the Japanese Government Overseas Study Program for Artists provided by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Since returning to Japan, he has continued his artistic practice based in Kyoto. In recent years, he has focused on forgotten presences that pervade society like ghosts, and, drawing on research into past sculpture, has presented works primarily in video that address modern and contemporary sculptors and their creative acts.
