AboutAbout the lab
Exploring “nothingness” and “existence” through making art
The lab of Associate Professor Hitoshi Kuriyama explores what concepts such as “nothingness” and “existence” mean through the making of artworks.
The lab also conducts research that systematizes the basic elements common to all forms of artistic expression, in order to clarify the “order of beauty.”
In education, the lab centers on contemporary art and teaches how to generate ideas for works, how to develop concepts, production techniques, exhibition practice, and portfolio creation.
The lab also incorporates off-campus investigations such as fieldwork, aiming to give students firsthand experience of the settings where art and design are created.
