Open Air ’94 “OUT OF BOUNDS” CONTEMPORARY ART IN THE SEASCAPE

Categories :

Exhibition Planning, Curation & Coordination

Celebrating the second anniversary of its opening, the Benesse House Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum, on an island in the Seto Inland Sea, organized its first open air exhibition. Site-specific artworks were exhibited across a variety of spaces on the museum grounds. The selection of works emphasized their compatibility and contrast with aspects such as the surrounding nature, the museum's architecture, and local history. The title "Out of Bounds" refers to crossing borders and indicated an aspiration toward a flexible way of thinking that employs art to transform existing concepts. Some of the artworks were installed permanently on Naoshima after the end of the exhibition, and they continue to add color to the island's landscape. 【Artists】 Shinro Otake, Kenjiro Okazaki, Kazuo Katase, Yayoi Kusama, Hotaro Koyama, Hiroshi Sugimoto, TECHNOCRAT, Yasutaka Nakanowatari, PH Studio, Takuya Matunoki, Takashi Murakami 【Basic information】 Period: 1994.9.15 - 1994.11.27 Venue: Benesse House Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum Organized by: FUKUTAKE PUBLISHING CO.,LTD., Benesse Island Naoshima Cultural Village Planning: Fumio Nanjo, Yuji Akimoto (Benesse House Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum)
