Takashi Horisaki draws inspiration from architecture, urban planning, and material culture to examine how the materiality of the built environment affects communities. Horisaki creates and collaboratively collects indexical objects that re-present our physical surroundings by altering the form, rigidity, or color of familiar objects and architectures. Combined with oral histories, photographs, social media posts, or augmented reality apps, Horisaki considers the role our material surroundings play in an arguably de-materializing age. 

Horisaki’s work has been exhibited internationally at Prospect.1 Biennial (New Orleans, LA), the Incheon Women Artists Biennale (Korea), the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, BankArt 1929’s R16 Studio (Yokohama), and Seoul Art Space Geumcheon. He has received commissions from Recess, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Paths to Pier 42, the Calder Foundation, Sculpture Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Queens Museum of Art, among others. His work has also been shown at numerous venues including Komagome Soko (Tokyo),  Internet Yami-ichi New York, Spring/Break Art Show and BKLYN IMMERSIVE, Abrons Arts Center Gallery, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum (Dresden, Germany), and Flux Factory (Queens, NY). Horisaki earned an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis, a BFA from Loyola University in New Orleans, and a BA in Art History from Waseda University.
