Past Exhibitions
Sat, Dec 15, 2012 - Mon, Jan 14, 2013
The Little Art Club in the Blue Woods, a project initiated by artist Nara Yoshitomo during his exhibition “The Little Little House in The Blue Woods,” was reactivated in conjunction with this exhibition. Young artists, chosen on an open-call basis, created artworks during two resident production sessions in Towada, alongside director Nara and advisor Fuji Hiroshi, then director of Towada Art Center and an artist himself. The results of their labor were displayed in “Through the Woods…,” with the city itself forming part of the venue. Towada Art Center has had a consistent commitment to being a museum open to the city, with a regional grounding, and this exhibition served to amplify its impact within the community.
