『仮想のコミュニティ・アジア―黄金町バザール2014』出展作品の前で。 作品:ライヤー・ベン《SUGAR CANE LADY PROJECT》2014
How do artists working in Asia connect to everyday life within their own locality? What roles do their artworks play in that specific context?
I believe that relationships between art and everyday life is an important theme for both artists and local communities, and that the possibility of collaboration between the two will become a focus of attention for the evolving art discourse in Asia in the coming years. Our everyday life is set in a situation, not necessarily consistent but rather complex, in which a number of rules and languages circulates and intersects. On the other hand, art operates as a kind of coherent system, which exists in the opposite side of everyday life, and they form a relationship by referring to each other.
“Koganecho Bazaar 2016” will carry out an experiment to verify the ways, in which everyday life and art are connected, by facilitating meetings among artists with different cultural backgrounds and encounters with the community of Koganecho, which stands on the horizon of the life-world in the same way artists do. It is an attempt to re-examine Koganecho in terms of relationships between art and everyday life, and to discover diverse possibilities of Koganecho from the viewpoints of artists.
