Artist
Bin Sugawara
Poet. His collection of poems, Naked on a Veranda, the Rabbit and his Minx, was first published by PRE/POST in the U.S. in 2011, even before he made his debut in his home country of Japan. While his writing career forms the backbone of his creative work, he finds a variety of media through which to articulate his poetry – by collaborating with other industries, performing recitals on radio and television, taking over the public broadcasting systems at department stores, and giving public readings overseas. Having written lyrics for the rock act Superfly, taken part in joint projects with the graduate school at the Tokyo University of the Arts, and even collaborated with artists in creating installation art, he has demonstrated his deep involvement in both the art and music industries. Currently, Sugawara’s work is published serially in several magazines such as BRUTUS and GINZA. A new compilation of his poems, entitled Kanohito was released through the newspaper pubilshing company Tokyo Shimbun on July 25th of this year.
