"Dialogues Painters' Views on the Museum Collection" Exhibition

The Museum of Modern Art, Shiga

This event has ended.

The exhibition is the second part in its series, following "Sensibilia ~An Experiment on the Collection" held in 2005. For this exhibition, four artists who have some sort of relationship to Shiga attempt to create a "dialogue" between their works and works from the museum collection. Thus, the innovative exhibition utilizes the museum's collection as a form of media that is manipulated by the artist.
