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 />
