The MOT Annual is a group exhibition that highlights diverse aspects of contemporary art and elicits inquiry and discussion. The 18th edition of the MOT Annual features four artists, OOKUBO Ari, KUDO Haruka, TAKAGAWA Kazuya, and RACHI Akira. With language and narrative as points of departure, these artists explore how we can give visible shape to people and things forgotten in our era and by our society, and how we can focus in sharper resolution on the complex, institutionalized environment that envelops our lives.
We live in a senseless world of pandemics and rampant unprovoked attacks, and it seems that basic definitions of right and wrong are increasingly blurred. How can we examine differences between people of varying backgrounds, and see the misunderstandings and paradoxes that arise from these differences as relevant to us? Is it possible to tolerate and forgive others with whom we share little or no understanding? Language is a means of sharing culture, but at the same time, cultural disparities can be sources of conflict. Meanwhile, that which cannot be described in words tends to be forgotten. This exhibition showcases artists’ endeavors to confront the challenges of storytelling and description, and to seek out alternative narratives.
