Past Exhibitions
Sat, Jul 1, 2023 - Sun, Sep 3
The first exhibition of 2023 at satellite venue space will be a solo exhibition by documentary actor 筒 | tsu-tsu.
tsu-tsu will spend two months in Towada, engaging publicly in a process that will involve connecting with and interviewing people in the local community. This process will shape a performance piece to be presented at the end of the exhibition period as a culmination of their experiences in Towada.
Exhibitions at Satellite Venue space
In 2022, the Towada Art Center began repurposing the artwork space—an empty building transformed into an exhibition room by the art collective 目 [mé]—to serve as a satellite venue. Located on the second floor, the white cube gallery of space stands in stark contrast with its surroundings and is now used to showcase the experimental work of emerging artists.

tsu-tsu
Documentary actor tsu-tsu develops projects related to acting and community based on the bodily sensation of “tsu-tsu,” derived from Japanese traditional dance, which they have practiced since childhood. tsu-tsu perceives acting as a means of directly accepting the complex nature of others and continuously explores the “changeability” of human beings. Focusing on how people with different values can come together, tsu-tsu established the live-in cultural facility “F/Actory” in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, in 2018 and in 2022 founded the artist-run residency “6okken” at Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, which they also run. tsu-tsu received the Kuma Foundation Creator Scholarship in 2021 and won the Platinum prize in the Art category at the 28th Campus Genius Contest in 2022. Their recent work includes Servant of the Whole (ANB Tokyo and others, 2022) and Backflow to the Junction (New York City, 2019–present). They have also appeared in Doris Uhlich’s Habitat / Halle E (Tanzquartier Wien, Austria, 2019) and conducted research on autonomous communities in 10 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and North America (2019-2020).
