Terrance Graven is a San Francisco artist whose installations often incorporate sculptural elements, performance art, costumes, sound pieces, and theatrical lighting. He studied at Indiana University and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from San Francisco State University (Honors Program/Painting). He also studied privately at Michael Markowitz Art Studios. In 1990, he was a principal performer for Harupin-Ha, the first Bay Area Butoh troupe, headed by Koichi and Hiroko Tamano. He also has trained with Yumiko Yoshioka, Akira Kasai, Anzu Furukawa, Yuri Nagaoka, and Diego Piñon. In 1992, he formed COLLAPSINGsilence Performance Troupe, which was active for thirteen years. The troupe designed and fabricated all costumes, props, puppets, and site-specific installations. They were a movement-based group, who designed and choreographed all of their work. In 1996, they were featured at The International Performance Art Festival. In 2009, he exhibited a solo show at David Cunningham Projects Gallery entitled "TEMPVS". According to writer Traci Vogel of ''The SF Weekly'', "In his performance work, Graven visits territory pioneered by the Viennese Actionists and feminist artists such as Carolee Schneeman, who claimed the body as a canvas. There is a fertile aesthetic intersection with Graven's installations, which hew closely to a Victorian Memento Mori ("remember death") sensibility" Terrance Graven states that before the exhibition, he placed an advertisement requesting memento mori donations. He was invited into strangers’ homes wherein they shared personal stories about their deceased loved ones. Afterwards they gave contributions in the form of cremation ashes and other relics. These were placed at the bottom of a rotating tripod. He has been a guest lecturer-instructor at UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Douglas and Sturgess, Jon Sims Center for the Arts, Yugen Theater, and the Harvey Milk Institute. He has exhibited in shows at David Cunningham Projects Gallery, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, De Young Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 111 Minna Gallery, and Shoshana Wayne Gallery. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terrance Graven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
