Title Description - In this intriguing project, Nishio presents a series of abstracted figures and faces printed in shimmering bronze. On closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the images are constructed out of seating plans for stadiums and theaters. The title of each image reflects the maximum capacity of each space. The figures are iconic, evoking both robotic forms and the art of pre-industrial societies. 29 June 2009 (printedmatter.org).
