Art Brut 2023 Touring Exhibition
Dear Stories: Tales and Talks [Venue 1]
This touring exhibition will stop at three locations in Tokyo to present the work of seven Art Brut artists whose highly unique and distinctive expressive styles have attracted attention both inside Japan and around the world in recent years.
From narratives that confirm our own existence to tales to share with others, human beings live their days in the company of a variety of stories. In this exhibition, you are asked to focus on savoring the stories that lie in each artist’s creative process and the worlds of their works.
Modeling the shape of someone important with a fictional story. Building one-of-a-kind automatons with empty beer cans. A gaze pointed at fragments of life, and the poetry born therein. Creating dioramas of imaginary neighborhoods and the traces of the passion left behind by repeated building and demolition. Attempting to get a bird’s-eye view of space-time by depicting outer space and history. Drawing colorful, beloved birds and decorating the world of one’s dreams. Memories of construction work during a bygone period of rapid economic growth and countless drawings made on graph paper. Herein exist the forms of narratives as filtered through each artist’s unique experiences, interwoven with their expansion into tales, stimulating our sensitivities and imaginations to make them more abundant.
Our hope is that through meditations on stories, this exhibition will serve as a space to come in contact with the creativity of a diverse range of people and serve as the impetus for people to talk.
