The archives of the Keio University Art Center (KUAC) are building various collections of materials. One of these, the Shuzo Takiguchi Collection, contains approximately 3,500 letters. Letters always indicate relationships with the outside world, and they show that a person's activities and thoughts are not solely their own but are also woven through mutual inspiration with others.
This exhibition aims to explore such dynamism through the correspondence between Shuzo Takiguchi and Shusaku Arakawa/Madeline Gins. Furthermore, it seeks to demonstrate that archival materials are not merely objects that substantiate past history but can also be a force for creating new history.
