How do we live in the city of the future and make a "better" way of life for ourselves?
Contemporary cities provide us with many conveniences, such as efficient labor, comfortable living environments, and bases for the generation of new culture and art. However, on the other hand, the centralization of such functions has invited unforeseen troubles and accidents, and excessive concern about defense has given rise to inhuman systems that have had a negative effect on society.
The role of culture and art in cities has also changed. Culture and art have developed rapidly in the modern age, during which people have moved into cities in great numbers and artistic discourse has proliferated. In the post-modern age however, in which all sense of independence has been lost, people are searching for ways of connecting with society, through points of view relating to regional services, education and welfare. Contemporary art is no exception.
The artists taking part (Tomoko Iwata, Chika Kato, Tetsuro Kano, Shiotsu Junji, Sohei Nishino, Ritsuko Yamashita, and Paramodel) make works that adopt themes such as cities and the urban landscape, the people and animals that live in them, and the earth and environment as a whole. Through these works, this exhibition encourages viewers to engage in a "Dialogue with the City" and asks us to consider how we should live in the urban environment and what we expect of the role of culture and art in the cites of the future.
