    Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    This paper addresses the following observation: in Japan, in the East, as much as in the West, there is one same divide, the one separating art from science – or more broadly – separating the humanities from the modern sciences. My argument is, on the one hand, that to analyze this divide constitutes one way of solving some of the challenges of the 21st century - one of which relating to national identities. On the other hand, and most importantly, I wish to demonstrate that, in spite of the divide, the two disciplines, as much as the East and the West, have more in common than commonly assumed and that this divide, even if profound, is not so radical.

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (international conference proceedings)  

    In 1958, for a international conference titled Man and the Atom, physicist Werner Heisenberg argued that modern physics and its applications have overcome and renewed philosophy from Antiquity to Kant in the dispute over the formation of matter. He even asserted that the arts themselves, should consider the changes that occurred in the scientific view of nature. While few years earlier, in The Question Concerning Technology, Martin Heidegger defined the essence of modern technology as an ‘enframing,’ a limitation, when humans are challenged by themselves and nature more than the other way around, and saw in art a ‘saving power’ against this enframing of technology.
    This paper will consequently consider the interaction between the three fields: modern science, philosophy and the arts, and will show how, in spite of all appearances, these fields are not as distant and autonomous as usually assumed. My argument is that they jointly participated (willingly or not) to the western project of modernity, and that it becomes necessary to reconsider this joint project in our global and contemporary context.

    From October 6, 2018, to January 20, 2019, the exhibition Catastrophe and the Power of Art was on view at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. The exhibition, curated by Kondo Kenichi, was notable for the choice of topic and the display of relevant pieces created by international artists. Moreover, it coincided with the fifteenth anniversary of the museum. Museum director Nanjo Fumio explained that while the tenth anniversary was dedicated to universal themes such as “happiness” and “love,” catastrophe became central for the fifteenth anniversary “given the disasters and tragedies that seem to be a constant presence today.”

    2019.3

     More details

    The Summit was the inaugural event of a five-year national flagship program, Art Platform Japan, initiated by the Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunka-cho) and implemented by the National Art Center, Tokyo. The aim of the program is to further the production, dissemination, and reception of Japanese contemporary art in a global context, and to promote the introduction of global trends in contemporary art to broad audiences both within and beyond Japan. Bringing together leading practitioners in the field of contemporary art for a three-day workshop in Tokyo, the Summit addressed themes that are of pressing concern in Japan, but also resonate with conversations happening abroad.

    Type:Lecture

    The nuclear age left deeply radioactive wounds that are still detectable today. The Atomic Art session will focus on two parts of the world: Polynesia and the Navajo Nation. The impact of French nuclear tests in Polynesia continues to this day, and the same can be said of uranium mining for the Manhattan Project in the US. These lands, the life and memory of the people connected to them, are still radioactive. Two speakers will examine the ways some contemporary artists engage with and represent these nuclear wounds. 核時代は、今日においても未だにはっきりと確認できるほどの深い傷跡—放射能に起因するもの—を残しました。本セッションは、ポリネシアとナバホネイションという2つの地域に注目します。フランスによる核実験、およびアメリカのマンハッタン・プロジェクトによるウラン採掘がポリネシアに与えた影響は今日に至っても続いています。そこに住む人々の生や記憶と結びついたこれらの土地は、今日に至っても放射能の影響下にあります。本セッションでは2名の講演者をお招きし、これらの土地を巡る「核の傷」が、現代芸術において如何に表象されているかについてのお話を伺います。
