Nuit Blanche KYOTO 2024″Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans”Transmitting the aesthetics of contingency

The works produced in real time in this exhibition testify to a particular proclivity on the part of artists and craftsmen to negotiate with contingencies. They show a pleasure in composing encounters with the personality of materials, their souls, the aging of things, the accidents, transformation of contexts, and the unpredictability of the living. 

As part of Nuit Blanche Kyoto 2024 on the topic of “Transmission”, this exhibition involves collaborations between artists, craftsmen and the curator. The artists provide the curator with instructions to produce their works, which are then made on site with the help of Japanese craftsmen who transmit their know-how.

A program of conversation, performances, activations, tea Ceremony and a banquet are proposed to the public, who are invited to take part in these situations
