Mitsushima Takayuki, a blind artist, has been invited to produce works in residency on the theme of the city and to give a participatory hands-on exhibition, “Mitsushima Takayuki Residency and Exhibition: GOING OVER—Touching the Texture of the City.” Mitsushima has long explored the possibilities of “touch-and-see” painting. Through his works, Mitsushima will stimulate visitors’ senses to touch the texture of the city, including the sounds and smells that abound, and the texture of the ground that can be felt through the soles of one’s feet. With visitors not only experiencing the works at the exhibition venue but also participating in their creation, unexpected forms will surely emerge. This is a gateway to a world that is not only visual, but also an opportunity to experience the city that lies beyond sight.
We invite you to watch video footage of the residency, feel the traces of the artist’s work, and participate in the collaboration with the artist and other participants.
• You are welcome to touch and appreciate the works at the exhibition site. Due to the nature of the works, they may break if excessive force is applied, so please touch them gently.
• Visitors are invited to participate in the creation of artworks during the artist’s residency, using materials used by the artist on a special wall at the venue.
