Meet artists at TURN!
Pijoppijoppi (Ordinary-extraordinary)

TURN Fes 4 will be held over three days from Friday, August 17 — Sunday, August 19, 2018 at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno. The theme of this the fourth TURN Fes is “Pijoppijoppi (Ordinary extraordinary),” a word coined by TURN supervisor Katsuhiko Hibino. This event teaches participants about the “differences” generated by encounters with each person’s differing experience of “ordinary,” and creates a framework for people to enjoy these differences.

As well as the artists, facilities and communities taking part in the TURN project, an array of guests who responded to our call will bring the festival alive with exhibitions, performances,workshops, talks and tours.


Think about what it’s like,
if experience and knowledge are sometimes obstacles.
Even if I and other people face the same thing,
My experience is not the same as their experience.

My ordinary is your extraordinary. Your ordinary is my extraordinary.
What’s ordinary-extraordinary is that these are always found together.
