Announcement of the 25th NSRI Forum
SEMINAR/EVENT
2015.03.02
From early outdoor sculptures to the rise of public art in the 1980s, and further to projection mapping and illuminations that utilize media and technology to transform the entire city into a canvas, the relationship between cities, architecture, and art has evolved with the times. Moreover, art is no longer merely a means of adding color to a city; there are increasing examples of art-themed events being held to create festivals that attract many people to the city and to promote regional development.
This forum aims to provide an opportunity to reflect on its history, consider its future role, and explore the possibilities for the relationship between cities and art. (Facilitator: Hiroshi Miyakawa)
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 18:00-20:00 (Note: This is a different time from the usual event.)
Venue: Nikken Sekkei Tokyo Building 1st Floor Gallery (2-18-3 Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) → Map
Capacity: 100 people
