Biography<br />
Born in Hyogo in 1975, the young Ayako Tabata was<br />
nicknamed Tabaimo—meaning “Tabata’s little<br />
sister”—by a friend. In 1999, she created her first<br />
video works, immediately drawing attention to the<br />
23-year-old artist and winning her the prestigious<br />
Kirin Contemporary Award. Japanese Kitchen (1999),<br />
her breakthrough work, displayed her country’s social<br />
and economic problems in a video installation that<br />
established her style from the outset: animated films<br />
that combine drawings evoking the “hand-made”<br />
quality of traditional Japanese wood prints with<br />
sophisticated computer technology. In 2001, she was<br />
the youngest artist invited to participate in the<br />
Yokohama Triennale. Her work was then shown internationally<br />
in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK,<br />
as well as at the 2002 São Paulo Biennale and the<br />
2006 Sydney Biennale. Her exhibition at the <strong>Fondation</strong><br />
<strong>Cartier</strong> <strong>pour</strong> l’art <strong>contemporain</strong> is her first solo show<br />
in Europe.<br />
