Tokyo Project Study 2: The journey towards Münster 2027

Genre:
  • Art Project ,
  • Lecture / Symposium

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Skulptur Projekte Münster has had a strong influence on art festivals and projects in Japan. Held every ten years since 1977, this public art extravaganza will take place again in nine years’ time. Ima theater has begun preparations towards its goal of being invited to the sixth Skulptur Projekte Münster in 2027.
Together with various guests involved in the internationally-renowned art festivals of Münster, the Venice Biennale and documenta, Ima theater will design a project appropriate for Münster 2027. It will do this by tracing the history of art and performance before Münster, and the changes in art and performance since the festival began.
This also entails tracing the history of/changes in the places and spaces for art and performance. Under the Study program, Ima theater will be carrying out trial performances and experiments for its project in Tokyo to begin with.
