GROUP EXHIBITION

As this year marks 80th year since the end of World War II, the memory of war continues to fade with time. It is increasingly relegated to the realm of the unconscious—no longer something many consciously engage with or reflect upon. This exhibition focuses on the ambiguous space “between war and the unconscious,” featuring works by artists who lived through the war and a new generation of younger artists who did not and have no direct association with war itself.

Born and raised in a time and environment far removed from war, the participating emerging artists revisit the notions of war, defeat, and peace from their own unique perspectives, transforming their reflections into contemporary artistic expression. Our hope is that this exhibition shifts our perspective from merely praying for peace to actively creating it, sparking new dialogue around peace-building in today’s society.

On the opening day, August 15 (Fri) at 5 PM, artist Rin Nakanishi will present an interactive performance work titled Sculpture Should be Eaten, Additionally, a talk event is scheduled to take place during the exhibition period (details to be announced at a later date).
