Chiharu Shiota - “Contemporary Japanese Installation Art: Between Matter and Space”

14.00–15.00 Seminar: “Contemporary Japanese Installation Art: Between Matter and Space”

Installation art is becoming increasingly dominant in the contemporary world, lightly crossing existing mediums such as painting, sculpture, and video. Free from their frames, plinths, and even screens, as well as integrated into the space, it encourages viewers to have a physical experience rather than being mere viewers. In Japan, installation art began to be produced in the 1960s by the Mono-ha school, among others. Half a century later, how has Japanese installation art changed? This seminar will decipher the characteristics of contemporary installation art through the introduction of Japanese artists, including Takashi Ishida, Shinji Ohmaki, Chiharu Shiota, and Rei Naito.

The event is free of charge.
