The world today is drenched in conflict and division, from war to fighting closer to home, sparked by fear of things and others beyond understanding. Traveling and meeting all sorts of people, talking with those whose views differ, are ways for us to bridge such divisions and each find happiness, encountering a haven and like-minded souls, and finding one's true self may well be the reason people were born into this world.
Featuring over 50 artists and artist units from across the globe, this exhibition contains works from the Taguchi Art Collection, one of Japan’s leading contemporary art collections, and the holdings of the Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, plus several new works.
Mika Rottenberg, who opens portals from familiar spaces into alternative worlds; Tuan Andrew Nguyen, whose videos superimpose disturbing history on lyrical travelogue imagery; the rock cafe and works of Yoshitomo Nara offering a glimpse into a facet of Hirosaki’s past; Mari Katayama, who engages with the world via her body; and the title work by Shiota Chiharu, are joined by a project by Akira Takayama unfolding on the streets, in an exhibition that ponders the nature of living and happiness, through a diverse lineup ranging from painting and photography to film and performances in lecture format.
