Since 2020, an invisible virus has stolen away our everyday and wrought havoc on our way of life and state of mind. Under these circumstances, much artistic expression – including contemporary art – resonates more keenly than ever. “Listen to the Sound of the Earth Turning” explores ways to live this new life and considers the nature of “wellbeing” for both body and mind from multiple perspectives found in contemporary art. Works on subjects with a connection to life and existence encourage us to think about what it means to “live well.” Topics include nature and humans, the individual and society, daily life’s repetitious nature, family, illness, mental health, the spiritual world, life, and death.
The exhibition will also emphasize encounters only possible in the real-life space of the museum. Honing the senses and engaging with art by experiencing its scale and materials first hand prompts viewers to consider what wellbeing means for themselves, rather than what is suggested by others or wider society.
The title of the exhibition is a quote by Yoko Ono from a piece of her instruction art (a form of conceptual art where the artist’s “instruction” or its description is the work itself). It invites us to expand our consciousness to encompass all the majesty of the cosmos, reminding us that we are no more than a tiny part of its workings and guiding us toward new ways of thinking. As we address questions of human life in the world during a pandemic, perhaps it is this very imagination that will present us with possibilities for the future.

終了間際に訪問。 タイトルの「地球がまわる音を聴く」という言葉に惹かれて行ってみました。 印象深かったのはポスター内の写真にもあるヴォルフガング・ライプの花粉の作品。俯瞰的に日常生活や人間の営みを眺めるような感覚を覚え、"1st things 1st"を思い返しました。
