Trans-PortⅢ
I’m glad you are there.
The alien life forms that appear in The Sirens of Titan, a novel by Kurt Vonnegut, may give us a clue to keeping a good relationship with someone. The primitive life forms called harmoniums can produce only two messages, "Here I am", and "So glad you are". When one says, "Here I am", the other automatically responds, "So glad you are". This simple exchange by recognizing the existence of each other and sharing the joy is indispensable for human beings, too. One thing that differentiates human beings from harmoniums is that humans use numerous combinations of various feelings and communicating those feelings. In this exhibition, we introduced the rich and diverse expressions created through communication between "Me" and "You".

In cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery has been exploring ways to promote an inclusive society through projects to introduce works by creators from various backgrounds. The gallery is temporarily closed for renovation and scheduled to reopen by the end of FY 2019. Before its renewal opening, the gallery hosted exhibitions in three different locations (Yotsuya, Hachioji and Ikebukuro) under the title of "Trans-Port" throughout this fiscal year. Just like a port which is a maritime crossroad of various cultures, "Trans-Port" aims to provide opportunities for visitors and different types of expressions to encounter each other. Each exhibition has its own theme to find out how art could contribute to diversity and inclusion within society.
