The exhibition "SEKAI NO KOTOVARI" at the Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art explores contemporary art since the 1990s addressing fundamental world issues.Summary
The exhibition "SEKAI NO KOTOVARI—Art of Our Time" currently held at The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, poses the question: What constitutes the art of our time? The exhibition features works by 20 artists spanning from the 1990s to the present day. Visitors are encouraged to view the pieces in any order that interests them. One featured work is Koki Tanaka's video installation, "Temporary Study: Workshop #1 'The Occupation Period 1946-52 and Humans and Matter in 1970,'" where high school students discuss their thoughts on war. This directly reflects the self-questioning many people engage in when confronted with daily news. The exhibition runs until March 8th.
