Extract from the project description:
An artist cannot show her idea to an audience without the use of material. Which material should be used? What tools are needed, and how should the work be constructed? These questions are always a part of the artistic process. Many artists worked with these questions, and developed many different solutions. These solutions have grown to become the variety of artistic techniques we have today.
At this exhibition, we have focused on the relation between techniques and expression. We are showing the work of six artists; Youhei Imamura, Yuichi Enomoto, Maki Okamoto, Yuko Someya, Yuichi Higurashi, Keisuke Yamamoto. (Translation by Maki Okamoto)
