Relay Talk “Nature Session”
*Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation
available.
“Sensing Nature” attempts to rethink the Japanese perception
of nature. In the three participant artists’ works you can see
manifestations of amorphous natural phenomena such as snow, light,
water and earth, as well as the Japanese sense of spirituality, which
arose from an ancient cosmology that saw nature and humans as one. What
do the three artists' approaches to nature have in common? How do they
make use of nature in their work? In this relay talk, “Nature Session,”
we give a brief introduction to the exhibition before exploring these
artists’ works and the contexts behind them.
