Special Exhibition
A Bright Home

2019.12.21(Sat) — 2020.2.28(Fri) 2020.3.1

There is a book published in 1939 called "A bright family." At the beginning of the book, which preaches various ways for women to behave in order to keep the household cheerful, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who was convinced by his concubine's explanation that whether the flavor of the dish is preserved or killed depends on the salt, is quoted. It alludes to the fact that women should play the role of "seasoning," so to speak. However, for Ieyasu, who was quoted, it may be a story that has no clue. This is because, in Japan, the concepts of “household” and “family” were newly created in the Meiji period to replace the traditional house system. So what does it sound like to us living in modern times? This exhibition features 11 artists, ranging from those born in the Meiji and Taisho eras to those born in the 1980s, to see what kind of shadows their homes and families cast in their creative activities, and what kind of light they illuminate. To go. By doing so, I would like to update the "bright home" and explore ways to practice "Akarui Katei" in the future.
