Saturday, July 29, 2023 – Sunday, September 24, 2023 Held at Ueno Geidai Art Plaza (Admission free)

2023 at the gallery "Geidai Art Plaza ( https://artplaza.geidai.ac.jp/ )" on the premises of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts (Ueno, Taito Ward), a collaborative project between Shogakukan and Tokyo University of the Arts. From Saturday, July 29, 2019, a special exhibition "What's ART? What is art?" In this exhibition, we will display and sell works by past Geidai Art Plaza Grand Prize winners with the theme of "What is art?" (Free admission).

About Geidai Art Plaza

Geidai Art Plaza is a gallery that exhibits and sells the works of faculty, students, and alumni of Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai), which has produced many top artists. It is one of the valuable places on the Ueno Campus of Tokyo University of the Arts where the general public can enter and observe freely throughout the year. Started operation in 2018 as a collaborative project between Shogakukan and Tokyo University of the Arts.

Currently, exhibitions with different themes are held every month or two. 10 to 50 artists participate in each special exhibition, and works expressed with various techniques and approaches unique to Tokyo University of the Arts, such as oil paintings, Japanese paintings, sculptures, crafts, and designs, are gathered together.

▼Exhibition view of “Geidai Myth – GEISHIN” held in June 2023
https://artplaza.geidai.ac.jp/column/19362/

In the store, there is a permanent work corner "LIFE WITH ART" centered on art that is close to life such as tableware and accessories, and a bookshelf linked to the special exhibition. During the opening hours of the store, you can also take a break with a cafe drink in the outdoor kitchen car "NoM cafe".

Admission to Geidai Art Plaza is free. In principle, you are welcome to take photos and share on SNS. We aim to be a place where everyone, not just art fans, can easily come into contact with art.

Held on Saturday, July 29, 2023 Special exhibition "What's ART?"
From July 29th (Sat), we will hold a special exhibition "What's ART? Thinking about 'What is art?

■ Exhibition concept
"A beautiful body dies, but a work of art does not." (Leonardo da Vinci) "The work is completed when the artist realizes his intention." (Rembrandt) "A work of art that did not begin with emotion is not art." (Paul Cézanne) “An artist cannot speak of his art any more than a plant can speak of gardening.” (Jean Cocteau) “Art cannot be modern. forever.” (Egon Schiele)

The theme of this year's exhibition is "What is art?" There are as many answers as there are artists, like Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt, all the great masters who color the history of art say different things. Perhaps the people who make art and the people who appreciate it are forever searching for that answer. By the way, the president of Hibino University of the Arts said:

“When the viewer receives the information sent by the object and feels something like “Oh, this is beautiful'' or “It makes me feel nostalgic'', the relationship between that object and the viewer is called 'art'" (From High School Newspaper Online 2020.02.27)

This time, Art Plaza asked the artists to answer the question, "What is art?" Even if it's not the answer itself, there are "hints", "questions about art", "differences between art and non-art", "possibilities of art", and "I haven't made art in the first place". I would like to think about such things together with the award-winning artists of Geidai Art Plaza, and also with the viewers who see their works.

ABC Animation Co., Ltd. will handle the production of scenarios and settings, while BANDAI NAMCO Amusement Co., Ltd. will handle the stage version production and publishing of the content, expanding the possibilities of real entertainment through collaboration with IP and media.

“Murder Mystery” is a game in which multiple participants search for the true culprit of a fictitious murder case while discussing with all the members and secret talks with a small number of people according to the setting and casting given in advance. In addition to being enjoyed as a player, it is also gaining popularity as a stage content that allows you to enjoy “Murder Mystery” from a third-person perspective and hear the impressions of the performers in the impression competition after the main performance. From December 3rd (Friday) to 5th (Sunday), 2021, the stage version of “Murder ☆ Mystery-Detective Mizuo Madarame’s Case Files-” will be performed at Asakusa Hana Theater (Taito-ku, Tokyo). Real-time distribution was also performed along with the local performance. In this performance, we will perform a stage version of Murder Mystery that has been further enhanced based on the popular manga “Liar Game”.

The stage “LIAR GAME murder mystery” begins with the gathering of those who received an invitation from a mysterious organization called the Liar Game Tournament Secretariat, commonly known as the LGT Secretariat. A murder case is discovered while playing a game of cheating that is familiar in the original. We will proceed to “Murder Mystery”. There is no script, no dialogue, and the only thing the cast members have is the setting of the cast. In addition to the original fun of “Murder Mystery” players’ psychological warfare and deception, you can feel the cast’s facial expressions, acting skills, and improvisation in real time. One of the attractions is that you can enjoy it. Even in the “Liar Game” that takes place before “Murder Mystery”, pay attention to deceiving each other, strategies to win, and reactions when deceived.

 

Due to the nature of “Murder Mystery”, which cannot be played again once the true culprit is known, it will be performed with a different cast every day, just like the previous performance. In addition, the daytime and nighttime performances have different scenarios, so you can enjoy different stages with the same cast.

Even if the setting is the same, you can enjoy a different stage each time depending on the cast’s acting, improvisation, and progress. ? Please enjoy the stage where the content, lines, and ending are all created by the cast on the day.

Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a public art work that uses GPS (current location information) to enjoy music in nature.

It was planned and produced, and has been carried out in many famous parks mainly in Europe and the United States (New York Central Park, London Regent’s Park & Primrose Hill, etc.). The music you hear from headphones and earphones naturally changes depending on where you walk and the route you walk. An encounter with new music that fully uses the five senses awaits.

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

Prior to the opening, official supporter Jun Kaname visited the event, "I was overwhelmed by the power of the work I was looking forward to."

On July 23rd (Sat), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum opened the "Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Exhibition: Art and Power".
This exhibition, which will be held two years after the original schedule, introduces about 60 works created in various regions such as Egypt, Europe, India, China, and Japan.
In addition, Kibi Minister Illustrated Tang Dynasty Scroll, which is said to be a national treasure in Japan, and Heiji Monogatari Emaki Sanjoden Night Raid Scroll, will return to their homes for the first time in about 10 years for this exhibition, and will be exhibited together. In addition, “Peacock”, a representative work by Sessai Masuyama, who was the lord of the Nagashima Domain in Ise during the Edo period, will be exhibited for the first time in Japan after being restored for this exhibition.
Prior to the opening, actor Jun Kaname, an official supporter, visited and appreciated the exhibition.

・《Illustrated scroll of Kibi Minister entering China》

Mr. Kaname, who slowly enjoyed the four picture scrolls, said, "The color balance is really good," and there was also a scene where he brought his face closer to the case and peered into it with great interest. "It's powerful, and the details that can't be conveyed in a photograph are amazing. Not one person in the drawing has the same expression. I can feel the talent of the person who drew the work," he said. In the Go scene (the scene where he swallows Go stones and cheats), he seems to laugh at the comical depiction.

・Sessai Masuyama 《Peacock》

The moment he saw the work, he said, "Wow, this is amazing. It's completely different from the photo. The wings are so fine. It's really amazing."
“Personally, I was most looking forward to this work, but when I actually saw it, I was overwhelmed by its power. It's full of."
