京都芸術大学 × 京都市立芸術大学

KUA × KCUA

Regardless of university affiliation, we often speak of individuals by tying them to categories such as gender, nationality, or generation. Among these, the university is one of the few attributes that can be consciously chosen; yet, by gathering within it, ways of seeing and modes of valuing take shape in forms that cannot be controlled by individual choice alone. To learn is also to acquire a depth of gaze that emerges in a place where voices inherited from the past intersect with students who themselves exist as unresolved questions.

If so, what, then, are students who study art in Kyoto in the same historical moment thinking about from their respective positions? This exhibition takes shape not as a space for “solo” production, but as an experimental site of “concerted” practice. By offering their gazes to one another beyond the bounds of their usual positions, the participants consider ways of love for continuing to engage with others in our time.
