In recent years, kogei has been evaluated in a new context. Since the modern era, when the concept of Western art was introduced and expressions considered different from painting and sculpture were named and separated as "kogei," artists in this field have continued to question themselves about kogei while striving to create new forms of expression.
At the same time, critics have also studied the state of kogei, but with the spread of transportation networks and the Internet, conventional notions of art and kogei have begun to be shaken. In fact, an increasing number of artists are now pursuing their own expression using craft materials and techniques, without regard to the genres of fine arts or crafts. At the same time, the exposure of kogei work has increased as non-specialist critics have paid attention to them and introduced them to the public.
This exhibition focuses on outstanding domestic and overseas craft and design work from the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and introduces them from a new perspective without daring to label them as "kogei". Although the works vary in form from vessels to objects, viewers will be able to experience a wide range of expression through the use of craft materials and outstanding techniques that make the most of them, without regard to genre.
