Foreword We are pleased to announce the holding of the project "Only white deep white - projection for art-Link" at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, the Tokyo National Museumand Kan'ei-ji Temple.
This project focuses on the experience of images appearing through the projection of sequential computer graphics images with sounds, onto outdoor screens in relation to our body and real space. The Tokyo National Museum has a vast collection acting as the core in Ueno as the Art Forest and has observed the history of many expositions and exhibitions held in this area. Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music educates artists as an art academy. Both institutions have played important roles in the history of the art administration. But the role of Ueno as an artistic base was formed after the modern period. In the Edo period, this area flourished as a precinct of Kan'ei-ji Temple which was a family temple of Tokugawa Shogunate. This project aims to shed light on different natures and histories of each location through the projection of the same images. This project will be held in relation with 'art-Link Ueno - Yanaka 2002'. It is a co-project which links two locations as Ueno and Yanaka with various events and exhibitions. It aims towards a new initiative artistic activity in the local community. We would be pleased if these projected images and sounds could provide fields to share aesthetic co-experiences and give opportunities to think about the history of this area. We would like to express our sincerest thanks to the involved individuals and institutions for their kind cooperation. September 2002 |
