The majority of the human species lives in cities, which occupy less than 1% of the Earth’s surface. What does the future hold as we live in this world, consuming an enormous amount of energy and depriving the lives of animals or plants?
Through their artistic practice, each of the six invited artists from Japan and across the world joining the first period of the 2024 residency program has been responding to the relentless and considerable alteration of the environment caused by human deeds. This exhibition will introduce new creations and ongoing works of the artists, all of whom challenge themselves to create in between the land, sky, past, and the future.
