Ask again about “living every day”. “Everyday Life: I’m Reborn”

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

“Ueno Artist Project” is an exhibition series that started in 2017 in order to inherit the history of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, which is also called the “hometown of open call exhibitions”, and to develop it into the future. .. Each year, we set up a different theme to introduce artists who are active in the open call exhibition.

In this fifth installment, “Everyday Life: I’m Reborn” , we’ll cover six female tablets from prewar to modern times under the theme of “Everyday Life.”

The scenery and things that you encounter in your daily life, and their memories. The writers have created a variety of expressions, starting from such an eye on something that is right next to them.

Three deceased writers who have been active in pre-war and post-war art groups and have faced themselves and society through things around them, and whether to pick up various “raw” fragments buried around them, retain them, and regenerate them. The works and way of life of the three active writers who work on such production acts must give us an opportunity to re-question “living every day”.
