Approaches at Times of Renewal

GuestJun Aoki (Director of Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art)

HostKyoto Experiment Co-director

In March 2020, Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art reopened after extensive renovations. In this talk, Jun Aoki, the architect and director of the museum who oversaw the renovations, will join the Kyoto Experiment co-directors for a crosstalk on the relationship between art and society, and its expandability. In the performing arts, experimental forms have emerged from attempts to expand into other fields. The speakers will freely discuss their visions for how architecture can link up with things beyond its conventional parameters, and, based on these approaches, the kind of exhibitions and events we should hold at art museums in society in the future. The talk will be an opportunity to reflect widely across disciplines on Kyoto, experimental artistic expression, and ways to engage with society.
