Contemporary Art (Hitoshi Kuriyama) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A contemporary art lab that explores "nothingness" and the "order of beauty" through the making of artworks.
AboutAbout the lab
Questioning nothingness and existence through art.
In the contemporary art lab of Associate Professor Hitoshi Kuriyama, students explore what concepts such as "nothingness" and "existence" mean through the creation of artworks.
The lab also works to systematize the basic elements common to all forms of artistic expression, with the aim of clarifying the "order of beauty."
The lab sees an artwork as a kind of "lens" that reflects the world as something different, through which viewers form a new view of the world.
In teaching, the lab covers how to generate ideas for artworks, how to develop a concept, how to apply basic elements of form, and the practice of exhibiting work.
