The Keio University Art Center (KUAC) plans exhibitions of contemporary art motivated by the conviction that universities—as formative places of learning for the next generation—should create opportunities for students to be able to encounter diverse perspectives, including the works of artists who are still alive and experiencing current events. As an experiment, KUAC will be hosting an art project that will span over the next three years in collaboration with Motohiro Tomii, a sculptor known for his readymade works that unveil new aspects of and perspectives on everyday objects. This exhibition is an "event" set apart from time or space. In most cases, the draw of an art exhibition is its temporary and fleeting nature. By thinking about this "event" over a continuous three-year period, the organizers will push the boundaries of what can be achieved by an exhibition and attempt to reframe the concept of an "event" from the confines of a small exhibition room.
