An exhibition in Sydney explores the history of Cowra which can not be captured by a single narrative - 一つの物語だけで語れないカウラの歴史とらえる試み、シドニーで展覧会
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Rather than simply bringing works by Japanese artists over, this is a new initiative in which young Japanese artists create works inspired by Australia and exhibit them in a Sydney gallery. We spoke to Kosuke Nagata, a multimedia artist from Kanagawa Prefecture, and Tomoya Iwata, a Tokyo-based curator, about the current exhibition, ‘Suddenly This Overview’. Why did Mr Nagata choose Cowra—a place known as a symbol of reconciliation between Japan and Australia—as his subject? - 日本の作家の作品をそのまま持ってくるのではなく、日本の若きアーティストがオーストラリアを題材に作品を制作し、シドニーのギャラリーで発表するという新しい試み。開催中の展覧会「Suddenly This Overview」より、神奈川県のマルチメディアアーティスト永田康祐さんと東京拠点のキュレーター岩田智哉さんにお話を聞きました。日豪和解の地として知られるカウラを題材に選んだのはなぜでしょうか。
