“Rhapsody for Living” is an exhibition focusing on “life” and “creation” and featuring work by four artists: Yohei KUMIKAWA, Yuki CHIJIWA, Fumiharu SATO & Hiroko HARAGUCHI, and Ayana NAKATSUKA.
The exhibition is divided into a first half and a second half in the hope of presenting variations in the connection between life and creation for each artist. In a related program, guest Hiroaki MORITA holds a workshop in which participants walk around exhibition venue Awoba-soh and create sculptures.
