[Exceeding the boundary of nation, religion and race with art, it will be connected ! ]
Kansai
The concept of the project : [fusion]
This art project involves a group of international artists creating a giant
jigsaw puzzle.
Although each
piece will be made independently, they will come together to be displayed.
And then sent to
the participants the pieces will fit together creating various relations and
non-relationsbut each participant, they will working on jigsaw puzzle that sees in imagination
of various relations and non-relation, order and disorder and so on like puzzling out the game.
(It means, nobody can see the whole image before finishing assorting and puzzling out it.
(This project will
be valid because it is possible to be connected and respect the individual identity.)
The theme of our project :
[Exceeding the boundary of nation, religion
and race with art, it will be connected ! ]
Various things
keep existing with some influence or some relationship without relation to
the intention to
relate each other. Namely this project will portray the various relations and
nonrelation,
order and disorder of existence. And this project portray simultaneously some kind of the Mandara-like
world view which was opened. (It is never limited to Buddhism or Tantric Buddhism sense.)
Now when economy or politics of the world is getting selfish, art will be able to diffuse the importance
and feasibility of reconciliation, because we need no more opposition and separation.
That probably will be? (We have no intention of being active politically
with art.)
This project
wouldn’t have to decide finished work, and it would be able to keep on this
project
endlessly (So that
means an everlasting puzzle, an expanding puzzle.).
