Taro Hattori is an interdisciplinary artist who has shown his socially-engaged installations and projects nationally and internationally. His recent work creates relationships between spatial sculptures and people in a specific socio-political background through performance, conversation, and song. His installations consist of carefully crafted structures and provide a sensory environment where viewers face conflicting issues and questions to ponder.
Hattori is a recipient of grants from the Creative Work Fund, Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, California Arts Council, Art Matters Foundation, Zellerbach Foundation, Center for Cultural Innovation, and others. He has been awarded a residency fellowship from MacDowell, Peterborough, NH; Djerassi, Woodside, CA; Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, CA; Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga, CA; The de Young, San Francisco, CA; Kuandu Art Museum, Taiwan and others.
