"Curatorial Studies 01 Clothes\Fashion" Exhibition
The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto
This event has ended.
The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto has regularly held specially-themed small-scale exhibitions within its Collection Gallery, showcasing the research results of their curators. Beginning in April 2008, this practice will be expanded in the form of a new program entitled Curatorial Studies. This program will extend the subject of research beyond the works in the collection, including issues that the curators have faced in the course of their work. Experts and artists from outside of the museum will be invited to participate according to each topic, and the results will be presented in various forms, such as exhibits, essays, and oral presentations. The museum hopes that the Curatorial Studies series will serve as the foundation of future exhibitions and further studies.
The inaugural theme is fashion. Yuko Nakahigashi, who works in the borderline territory of Clothes\Fashion and is the director of CENTER EAST, was selected as the research partner. With the curators of The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, the exhibition will contemplate Clothes\Fashion in the context of art museums.
