Business Overview
This project is to produce and exhibit works of invited artists Hideki Umezawa and Koichi Sato at the Thailand Biennale 2021. With Yuko Hasegawa, director of the Kanazawa 21 Century Museum of Contemporary Art, as its artistic director, this exhibition was planned as an international level exhibition with the concept of “So what exactly is the nature of this new capital? - What is the new natural capital? Based on the idea of “social common capital ” proposed by Japanese economist Hirofumi Uzawa, he positioned them as creating a sustainable society by enriching people not only materially but also spiritually. In response to that concept, Umezawa and Sato created a new installation that combines video, sound, and fragrance into an infrastructure that connects the city with the water source in the background.
