MES(メス)は、谷川果菜絵(KANAE)と新井健(TAKERU)によるアーティストデュオ。 2015年に結成、東京を拠点に美術制作とパーティー演出の両輪で活動している。 レーザーを建物へ放つ<LASER WRI/LIGH-TING>シリーズなど、現代美術とクラブカルチャーの境界から社会を観測し、レーザーやサーモグラフィー、既存の環境を用いて演劇的・彫刻的アプローチのインスタレーションを制作。近年の主な作品発表の場に「惑星ザムザ」「TOKIWAファンタジア 2021」「Reborn Art Ferstival 2021夏」個展に「DISTANCE OF RESISTANCE/抵抗の距離」がある。

MES are Tokyo-based artist duo consisting of Kanae Tanikawa and Takeru Arai. Since forming in 2015, MES has been making art installations and scenographic direction at parties and music events.Their objective is to bridge club culture and contemporary art, by observing society from a peripheral position.As seen in the ‘LASER WRI/LIGH-TING’ series, where they shoot lasers at buildings, the duo makes frequent use of laser, thermography and existing surroundings to create sculptural and atmospheric installations by observing society from a peripheral position between club culture and contemporary art. Recent exhibitions include: “Planet Samsa”, “TOKIWA fantasia 2021”, “Reborn Art Festival 2021 summer”, and the solo show “DISTANCE OF RESISTANCE/teikou no kyori”
