Since opening nine years ago, the Art Museum & Library, Ota has been collecting and retaining artworks and other resources created in or otherwise related to the region. It does not have a permanent exhibition room, and now showcases the works in its collection in the museum’s first ever collection exhibition.
The idea was to approach the exhibition with a focus on three processes – or “acts”: The creative process of each work, the process of bringing the works together according to the museum’s policy, and the process of publicly exhibiting them within the museum’s environment. This is why the spotlight here is not only on the works themselves, but also on the museum’s architecture as an environment that affects the viewing experience, as well as elements such as textiles, lighting and signage. The exhibition further includes related items borrowed from other institutions, to help visitors gain a better understanding of the works in the collection.
