Business Overview
In this project, we focused on the existence of viewers, or "audiences," and tried to find new possibilities of viewing experience by considering the mutual relationship between artists and viewers. The meaning of a work continues to change depending on the reactions of the audience who feel, interpret and sometimes question various things when they see it. Therefore, the same works can be appreciated across time and regions, and new ways of reading them become possible. By introducing the diverse worlds presented by the artists and visualizing the opinions of the audience in the exhibition, this exhibition created a space where the thoughts of the artists and viewers intermingle, and presented a new way of interacting with the works.

Profile
[Art and Society Executive Committee]
In May 2022, Natsumi Araki and Satoru Aoyama, inspired by the philosophy of artist and activist Suzanne Lacey, conducted a joint class at Tokyo University of the Arts on the theme of "Creating Works Thinking About Who to Show Them to". In September of the same year, Araki and Aoyama conceived an exhibition focusing on "audiences". After that, he conveyed the idea to Ken Iwama, who is working on a project to connect art and society, and Park Sang-hyun, who studied art at Seoul National University and Tokyo University of the Arts, and formed an executive committee.
