Description

Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015’s Public Program began with the Access Program lectures and other events held in connection with Prelude [Exhibition] William Kentridge: The Refusal of Time, which was meant to increase accessibility to our prelude exhibition by reaching out and connecting with various fields that are not necessarily limited to contemporary art, ranging from film history, philosophy, physics, and more. Starting this April, the main focus will be placed on the artists participating in Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015. Access Program participants will be invited to take various approaches in getting to know the artists and their works, so that they will be prepared to enjoy the exhibition in 2015 on a deeper level.
In this Access Program event, we will examine Parasophia’s participating artist Yoshimasa Ishibashi through a two-part study group. First, Access Program participants will visit the Kyoto Art Center to see Ishibashi’s latest work, MatchAtria (a collaboration with dancer and choreographer Yui Kawaguchi), and participate in the talk and workshop presented directly in connection with the work. Participants will then examine materials related to Ishibashi and his artist collective Kyupi Kyupi at flowing KARASUMA, within walking distance from Kyoto Art Center. The evening will conclude with a short talk and Q&A session by the artist himself.
