"Art and Air – A Story of Art and Science Involving the Skies and Aircraft" Exhibition

Aomori Museum of Art
Finished

Artists

Tetsuya Nakamura, Satoshi Furui, Taiji Matsue, Shusuke Ao, Kazuhiko Hachiya, Katsushige Nakahashi et al.
Gaze up at the skies and feel the dream of flight since the ages of mythology and a history of skyward trials and failures.
Gaze down from the skies and feel the human consciousness embedded in a view from above.
Imagine the many rich stories woven from the skies and aircraft.
Experience the wonder of the form and mechanism of aircraft, and the human desires projected into them.
Moreover, consider what it means to fly.
Previously confined to movement on the surface of the earth, how did taking to the skies change man’s way of thinking and perception?
This exhibit of cultural history examines our spiritual nature as human beings living in the modern age and the social nature of the age known as the 20th century through various works of art and materials centered on the themes of the skies and aircraft.
