Curation: The Echoes of East Kyoto

Around 100 works by a total of 50 rising and renowned artists from Kyoto will be presented at The Echoes of East Kyoto exhibition held at WHAT CAFE, Tokyo, under the curation of “Onidaimyo (a curatorial unit represented by Kengo Kito / Daisuke Oba / Kohei Nawa).” A wide variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional works by renowned artists and newcomers will be displayed at one venue to give a more profound experience of Kyoto’s art scene.

In recent years, the momentum of young artists in Kyoto has continued to grow and shows no signs of slowing down. Young artists fresh out of university become more vital for the local and a global art scene and are drawing attention. Behind the continued emergence of artists with high potential lies a unique art ecosystem nurtured in Kyoto. This results from the loose vertical and horizontal ties among artists created by the convergence of several art universities and the seepage of art into the city through progressive initiatives such as the ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO and art hotels and cafes.

This exhibition resulted from a genuine connection between artists that transcended generations and social positions. It will be a rare opportunity to reflect on the resonance of Kyoto’s artistic energy on an unprecedented scale in the country’s capital.
