Little Tiny Art Gallery Exhibit: Featuring Michael Nagara

​ ​Nagara Art Gallery.jpgThe Little Tiny Art Gallery, in front of the Ann Arbor Senior Center, is now exhibiting a show by Michael Nagara November-December. It can be viewed anytime as it is an outdoor exhibit space. Michael Nagara's artist statement reads: “I am an Okinawan-Japanese-American visual artist, recently diagnosed with a photosensitive, autoimmune inflammatory disease (thence the extensive covering clothes). I currently work out of a studio community in Detroit. I have work in the permanent collection of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and various private collections. Originally an illustrator, painter, and calligrapher, I have recently grown an interest in sculpture from reclaimed or recycled materials.

While having exhibited bodies of work in cartoon illustration, photography, landscape imagery, 3D printing, and Japanese calligraphy, my recent conceptual sculpture work focuses on visually ambiguous or illusory interactions of scale in space. I visually symbolize many scales of problematic interrelations between multigenerational planetary time, and the roiling activity of individual human bodies that tire and hunger daily, amidst relentless, 24-hour-a-day, planetary-scale supply lines and their economic and political administration. Thus, visual problematics in my work are intended to metaphorically map to the problematics of technologically-driven life and culture: dreamed of for a century or more as a utopian panacea, but inescapably tied to the human flaws that go into its creation through its human creators.

My most recent work seeks to re-visualize issues created by the fact that technology, even if benevolently conceived, is at best merely a catalyst. Technology merely speeds and catalyzes isolation, injustice and cruelty, the same as it can sometimes speed and catalyze the spread of justice, interconnectedness, and benevolence. My continued ethical problematizing of the very technologies that have catalyzed and fed my work has led me to an interest in sculpture using recycled and cast-off materials. My new body of work uses materials like empty food containers and delivery boxes, recycled foam and fiber stuffing, and leftover part sprues from my personal collection of plastic models to build structures that question and implicate even the work's creator in the physical, phenomenological problematics embodied in the symbolism of technology = control = power."
