Artist IKEGAMI Keiichi and Art Supporter KAMEI Tomomi will be on site as workshop facilitators on September 12 (Sat.) and 13 (Sun.) at 2:00 p.m.- and 4:00 p.m.-.
Seeing white T-shirts as their own body, people working in pairs place red stickers on the areas where they feel stiffness so as to visually portray sensations and memories etched in their bodies. The T-shirts, displaying red dots in striking patterns mapping the different traces of stiffness in each person’s body, are lined up in the venue. In this way, the personal existence of people other than us and the invisible connection among us are made clear.
*This program is conducted in Japanese.

About the Artist
IKEGAMI Keiichi
Because of frequent childhood experiences of illness, Ikegami became interested in the stiffness arising in the body’s muscles and joints as well as sensations and memories evoked by touching the body. He has since created paintings and three-dimensional works expressing the invisible energy inhabiting the body and the sense of pressure and signs of something inside that are felt when touching it. He holds exhibitions of his work in Japan and abroad. In recent years, through collaborations with musicians and dancers, he has been working to create places where everyone from children to adults can discover the "fascination" of examining bodily sensations and resonating with other people.
