Nobuho Nagasawa has been commissioned for more than 25 public art projects internationally. Most recently she has been selected to work on a project in downtown Pittsburgh, creating a connection between the Mon Wharf and Point Park University campus. An interdisciplinary artist, whose site-specific work explores the places, politics, ecology, and psychological dimensions of space and people, her art involves in-depth research into cultural history and memory, and extensive community participation. Based in New York City since 2001, Nagasawa was born in Tokyo, raised in Europe and Japan, and received her MFA at Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. An invitation from California Institute of the Arts brought her as a visiting scholar to the US in 1986, where she studied visual art, critical theory and music.
