Series with the artists
Shuhei Kato's series Stronger Than Pride explores a different side of himself, beyond the pride, passion, and determination he has always expressed. In this series, Kato focuses on uncovering the version of himself seen through the eyes of others, whether they are reflecting on him or the things he holds dear. As SADE equated pride with love, what will Kato discover about himself through this lens?
Remember that exhilarating feeling of a high school field trip to an art museum? Many of us might find ourselves curious about galleries but struggle to find the motivation to visit. But stepping into an art space can spark moments of self-reflection or lead to delightful new discoveries. You don’t need an art history degree to enjoy the experience!
Get ready for "Art Week Tokyo (AWT)" from November 7 (Thursday) to November 10 (Sunday), where 53 museums and galleries will open their doors to everyone. To make it even more accessible and fun, they're bringing back the nostalgia of field trips with the "AWT BUS"—a free shuttle service running every 15 minutes! With six convenient routes to choose from, planning your art adventure is a breeze.
In this series, our guests will share five art spots they can't wait to explore. They’ll pick one to visit in person and recount their encounters with art, along with their own unique ways to enjoy it. Let’s dive into the vibrant world of art together!
Is Knowledge a Blessing or a Curse? The Irresistible Urge to Know
Sometimes we wish we didn't know, yet can we truly live without knowledge?
I yearn for knowledge, even if it bewilders me further. I crave understanding, even when it appears senseless. I seek insight, even when it stings. I desire to unravel the universe's mysteries, driven by my insatiable curiosity and thirst for amusement.
Let's seek answers together! Let's embark on a museum adventure! This is the essence of our series.
