Punk! The Revolution of Everyday Life

SHARE
Punk is usually associated with noisy music and riotous attitude, but tracing back its lineage shows that it is fundamentally connected with the principles of the morals of the person and the people around.
This exhibition will examine the affinity with contemporary art and the synergy between the two by looking at the practice and criticality with which punk has addressed various social issues. It will further investigate how the movement formed an autonomous space through music and for everyday life.
"Punk! The Revolution of Everyday Life" explores the development of Punk, cultural and historical reference with Karl Klaus, a writer and journalist, Alfred Jarry, French playwright, Dada, Lettrism, Situationist International, King Mob, Black Mask & Up Against the Wall Mother Fucker. At the same time, we will refer to punk rockers, Crass, Riot Grrrl, and Queercore who have followed the punk trajectory since the Sex Pistols. The late anarchist and anthropologist David Graeber’s essay will develop this perspective. Contributors for the exhibition's zine are the economist Toshimaru Ogura and the art critic Atsushi Sugita.
The exhibition will present works on paper and video works. It has been organized by Kounosuke Kawakami's lab, who is a lecturer at Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts, and after its start in Kurashiki, will also be exhibited in Tokyo, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Osaka and Kyoto.
