Arai Takashi's maquette for a wristwatch monument from Uenomachi

Arai Takashi created a maquette for a multiple monument dedicated to a wristwatch excavated from Uenomachi. The work was documented on April 21, 2016, through an entry posted on artcritical at 10:47 pm. This artistic proposal explores themes of archaeology and everyday objects transformed into monumental forms. The maquette serves as a preliminary model for a larger, potentially multiple installation. The wristwatch, as the central artifact, originates from the Uenomachi site, suggesting a connection to personal history and time. Arai Takashi's conceptual approach recontextualizes found objects into sculptural commemorations. The project was shared via the artcritical platform, which hosts diverse contemporary art discussions. The entry remains accessible through RSS feeds for ongoing engagement with the content.
