Yuko Hasegawa is a curator and art critic based out of Tokyo. She currently holds positions as Visiting Professor at Graduate School of Management, Kyoto University, in "Curatorial Theory and Practice"; Program Director of Art & Design at the International House of Japan; Visiting Professor at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature; and Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts. Former Director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. She was Artistic Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo until 2021. Yuko Hasegawa has curated Japanese contemporary art and media and technology extensively. During her post at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, she curated solo exhibitions of Dumb Type (2019-2022), Olafur Eliasson (2020), and rhizomatiks (2021), and the collaborative project Tokyo Art Meeting (2011-2016) with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Mansai Nomura, and Taku Sato. In Japanorama: A new vision on art since 1970 at the Centre Pompidou-Metz (2017), and Fukami: A plunge into Japanese aesthetics in Paris (2018), Hasegawa presented unique perspectives of Japanese art to global audiences. Hasegawa has also curated, either solo or in a joint capacity, international art biennials including the 7th International Istanbul Biennial (2001), the Shanghai Biennale (2002), the 29th São Paulo Biennial (2010), the Sharjah Biennial 11 (2013), and the 7th Moscow Biennale (2017), Thailand Biennale, Korat (2021) and also served as art advisor to the 12th Venice Architecture Biennale (2010). Hasegawa's curatorial language is interdisciplinary, encompassing not simply art but also architecture, design, science and anthropology, and combined with global curating experience, allows her to view art as part of a single, holistic ecology. She is also interested in interventions into conceptions of Eurocentric modernism from the perspectives of gender and eco-criticism. Recently she has been exploring notions of ecology and place-making: from Clouds ⇄Forests at the 7th International Moscow Biennale (2017), SYMBIOSIS : The Lived Island (2021-2022) as part of the Inujima "Art House Project" of which she is Artistic Director, to Art & New Ecology at The University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts (2022). She has written, co-authored and contributed to numerous books, papers and catalogues. Her recent publications include New Ecology and Art: Anthropocene as dithering time (Ibun-sha, 2022), "A New Ecology and Art: on the Clouds⇄Forests exhibition" (Journal of Global Arts Studies and Curatorial Practices vol. 1, Tokyo University of the Arts, 2020); "Grotesque and cruel imagery in Japanese gender expression: Nobuyoshi Araki, Makoto Aida and Fuyuko Matsui" (The Persistence of Taste: Art, Museums and Everyday Life After Bourdieu, Routledge, 2018); "Japanorama: Un Archipel en Perpétuel Changement" (Japanorama, Centre Pompidou-Metz Editions, 2017); and "Performativity in the Work of Female Japanese Artists in the 1950s–1960s and the 1990s" (Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA, 2010). Hasegawa has held positions as advisory committee member of Shanghai's Rockbund Art Museum (2014-2018), international advisory board member of The Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (CCA) (2014-2017), and member of the Asian Art Advisory Board at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2008 – 2012). Currently she serves as an advisory committee member of Istanbul Biennale (2017-present), and international jury member of the Nasher Prize, Nasher Sculpture Center (2015-present), the Nomura Art Award (2019-present) and Florence Biennale (2019-present). She has been honored with the Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres, France (2015), the Ordem de Rio Branco, Brazil (2017), and Japan Commissioner for Cultural Affairs Award, the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan (2020). In parallel with her curating roles, as a professor in Curatorial Studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Global Arts since 2015, Yuko Hasegawa has taught students of multiple nationalities, while continuing to construct curatorial theories and contribute to the development of contemporary art discourse from non-western-centric points of view. Hasegawa holds an MFA in Art History from the Tokyo University of the Arts.
