About Book
一筋縄ではいかない作品を生み出すアーティスト、
その思考、制作プロセスを探る、初の本格作品集！！
DECORATOR CRAB
Iikawa Takahiro
"It's not that I want to make big things." Work was moving forward on a plan to install one of the artist likawa Takehiro's key works, Decorator Crab - Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat, in a park in Sendai. Measuring 26 meters high, 28 meters wide, and four meters deep, the piece was equivalent in size to a normal eight-story building. Behind the superficial catchiness of the gigantic, pink, eye-catching work was a scheme to change our way of seeing and acting without us noticing. However, despite a variety of adjustments to many different aspects of the work and high expectations around its completion, the work was ultimately never realized.
In addition to attempting to understand things like the con- cept behind the Decorator Crab series, and the conditions necessary to complete these works, through images and essays, this book sets out to document a case in which a process proved impossible to execute, leading an art project to remain unrealized.
The first half of the book contains images of works based on the Decorator Crab concept that likawa launched in 2007, as well as essays by learned individuals. These deal with subjects such as how likawa's awareness of issues like vision and perception are reflected in his works, and how he came to make works that are premised on involving the viewer.
The second half traces likawa's Sendai project from the be- ginning, and the Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat proposal from conception until abandonment, through photographs and documents. It also sheds light on the conditions surrounding the work, which like a real cat was willful and did not behave as expected, by addressing questions such as why likawa conceived of a work of such immense size, and why it proved impossible to realize, from the perspective of both the artist and the management.
The book is intended as a collection of likawa Takehiro's works until this time and also a reference source focusing on the case of an art project designed for a public space. It is our hope that many artists and people who are considering working with artists will read it.

"Contemporary public sculptures that are rooted in these conditions provoke actions in real spaces, stimulate discussion, and make an impact on viewers in virtual spaces as in the physical world."
── Kimura Eriko（Curator / Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art）
《Can Sculpture Camouflage Itself in Public Spaces? 》
"Still, as discussed earlier, the artist's expression of "Kawaii" is more complex than that. This somewhat aligns with the notion that Kawaii is not so much a plain form of art in the actual sense."
── Lee Areum（Aesthetics Researcher, Co-director of YPC SPACE [Seoul, South Korea]）
《Rise of the Kawaii Monster -- Meeting Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat》
"Reactions to artists' seemingly preposterous ideas may serve as a barometer of a city's tolerance and vibrancy."
── Igarashi Taro（Architectural historian and critic）
《Transforming Landscape Through the Power of Imagination》
"For Iikawa and the Decorator Crab strategy of catalyzing "unforeseen encounters," impact isn't limited to the mental"massage" of viewers' immediate reactions of confusion or delight, like "How cute!" "But it's impossible to get the whole thing in one photo!" The work's appeal could also spark administrative efforts toward its materialization."
── Kai Kenji（Artistic Director, Sendai Mediatheque）

Artist Information
飯川雄大
Iikawa Takehiro
Born in Hyogo Prefecture in 1981; currently based in Kobe. likawa is a graduate of Seian University of Art and Design. In 2007, he began making the Decorator Crab series. His numerous works include Decorator Crab - Expecting Spectators, in which objects and spaces are transformed by the viewer's active involvement; Very Heavy Bag, a bag that appears to have been forgotten; and Decorator Crab - Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat, a sculpture so large that it cannot be viewed in its entirety. likawa's works provoke thought and taking a positive attitude toward chance events, which are caused by the viewer's actions.
Iikawa has many Solo Exhibitions, Group Exhibitions, Video Screenings, Residencies, and Collaborations, including "Decorator Crab - Measuring the Future, Pulling Time" (Kirishima Open Air Museum, 2023),"Decorator Crab -Occurring simultaneously or awareness being delayed" (The Hakone Open-Air Museum, 2022),"Art Lab 04: DECORATORCRAB - Expecting Spectator -" (Chiba City Museum of Art, 2021),"Yokohama Triennale 2020--Afterglow" (Yokohama Museum of Art & PLOT 48, 2020), and "Roppongi Crossing 2019: Connexions" (Mori Art Museum, 2019).
