Born in Tokyo in 1974, KOGANEZAWA graduated from Musashino Art University in 1998, following which he studied in Germany on a Pola Art Foundation grant in 1999 on the Japanese Government Overseas Study Program for Artists provided by the Agency for Cultural Affairs for 3 year beginning in 2001. From his base in Berlin, KOGANEZAWA produces and presents works all over the world. In creating his works, he uses a diversity of methods, such as works focusing on "movement and time," installations that visually reveal the generation of music, and drawings that he says are daily practice for extemporization.
