MUR 004 + CHARLOTTE HAYWOOD / EDWARD HORNE + HUMUS
オーストラリア、ニューサウスウェールズ州北部のバンドジャルンカントリー出身の地域アーティスト、シャーロット・ヘイウッドとエドワード・ホーンによって実現した魅力的な試み、HUMUSを紹介します。彼らのプロジェクトは、インスタレーション、パブリックアート、実験的建築、没入型シアターデザイン、サイトスペシフィックスカルプチャー、コミュニティエンゲージメント、ビデオ、サウンド、テキスタイル、教育学など様々なメディアを軽々と横断し、学際芸術の領域を掘り下げています。石垣島では、バイオミミクリー、エコ美学、マルチナラティブ、互恵性の探求に深く根ざしたクリエイティブなコラボレーションを展開しています。マ・ウミ・レジデンシーでは、織物職人、大工、船大工、音楽家、その他の地元の職人たちと会話を交わし、洞察を深め、コラボレーションを行うために集まっています。彼らの芸術活動の中心は、多様な文化との交流と没入であり、文化的、政治的、生態学的な規範を批判的に検討しながら、その独自性を尊重することです。
During his residency, Weston led a paper workshop using the red soil from our pink Turtle site and Awagami washi paper pulp. Participants created textured, vibrant sheets, connecting the island’s earth with hands-on experimentation and material storytelling.
From handmade sheets to found scraps, Weston uses paper as a carrier of stories uncovered through his research. Most recently, he’s begun making Shikuwasa paper, inspired by a fruit native to both Ryukyu and Taiwan, exploring the environmental and cultural ties that connect the two regions.
Weston Teruya (b. Honolulu, Hawaiʻi) is an Oakland-based artist from a fourth-generation Okinawan family. Working primarily through sculpture, installation, and research-driven projects, his practice examines the entangled histories of land, labor, migration, and militarization across Hawaiʻi, Okinawa, and the broader Pacific.
Weston’s work engages material processes and spatial interventions as a way to surface suppressed narratives embedded in everyday landscapes and infrastructures. Drawing on archival research, vernacular materials, and collaborative methodologies, his projects foreground how colonial and imperial legacies continue to shape contemporary environments and social relations. In addition to his individual practice, Weston is a co-founding member of Related Tactics, a collective of artists of color producing site-responsive and socially engaged works that address public memory, race, and power. His work has been presented in museums, public spaces, and community contexts in the United States and internationally.
