Forbat Sophie, 40 years Kaldor Public Art Projects, (Kaldor Public Art Projects: Art Gallery of NSW) 2009
This provides a good introduction to Tatzu Nishi's practice and provides a short critical analysis of his artwork. There is a brief biography and several of his artworks are touched upon and colour photographs of his artwork are featured. The focus is on War and peace and everything in between (2009) which was a Kaldor Public Art Project so there are reproductions of his plans for that installation. Direct quotes from the artist are featured alongside the text and photographs.

This discusses Villa Victoria (2002) and War and peace and everything in between in particular. The writer argues that whether or not it is intentional, Nishi's artworks parodies colonialism. The surreal experience created by his installation is examined by how the sculptures are presented in domesticated settings. The writer relates his experience of Villa Victoria. The writer praises Nishi and consider himself a successful artist as his artwork allows the viewer too see the world in new ways.

In this interview Nishi discusses Discovering Columbus (2012), the focus of this interview how he creates the living spaces based on what he considers to be the average living space instead of his personal aesthetic taste. Nishi explains that he choose the monument of Christopher Columbus as the site because of its height not the historical significance of Columbus. He explains that having his name translated from one Japanese character to the alphabet is why he took on having a series of new names as an artwork.

This article provides technical information about Discovering Columbus like the safety regulations such as the limit of fifty people in the space at one time and the ticketing system. The reactions to the artwork are featured, including that were protestors at the installation. This article is good for learning about how the general public react to his artworks.
I can't post an image with this because I don't have a functional computer but will have it up Thursday. Sorry.
