This event will investigate when it may have been that the human race first began making art, and why. Currently Tokyo is hosting an exhibit of renowned Lascaux Cave paintings, “Lascaux: The Cave Paintings of the Ice Age,” at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno Park, Tokyo. This is the first exhibition in Japan to reproduce the mural paintings of Lascaux cave in France, which is now closed for conservation. In addition, “Design and function of Flame style pottery: Jomonesque Japan 2016” is now open at Kokugakuin University Museum. Centering on national treasures excavated in Niigata Prefecture, this exhibition presents flame style ceramic objects alongside clay figures and stone rods of the same period. Moving forward, it is well known that artist Taro Okamoto rediscovered Jomon culture and his work, as well as that of many other artists, has been inspired by it.
This event will bring together Yosuku Kaifu, a researcher at the National Science Museum, Takumi Ishii, curator at Kokugakuin University Museum, and art writer Mari Hashimoto as moderator. By addressing fundamental questions regarding the beginning of art they hope to rejuvenate art now at its very roots.
*Event in Japanese only.
