Tajiri's Meeting Point in Art Moments Podcast

For the Art Moments podcast from Schiphol Airport, Shinkichi’s grandson Shakuru Tajiri was invited to share insights into Tajiri’s iconic sculpture Meeting Point (1975), his remarkable life story, and the renowned Knots series. The episode was recorded in both Dutch and English and is now available for streaming on all major podcast platforms!

About the episode:

Meeting Point, Shinkichi Tajiri’s large, bold knot at the heart of the arrivals hall, has been the silent witness to everything that happens at Schiphol for more than 50 years. This artwork has a unique story and was created by an equally unique artist. In this episode, Tajiri’s grandson talks about how his grandfather made his way from Los Angeles to the Dutch village of Baarlo via Paris and Amsterdam, and how his work became a means of coping with the weight of his past.
