KYOTO 2024 “Reverse Journey to Kyoto” will feature textiles by textile artist Haruka Kiyohara in the lobby on the first basement floor. The installation will be on display from Tuesday, September 3, 2024. * ■Event overview*
10 venues in Kyoto City that tell the story of Kyoto, a city of culture and history. From September 3rd (Tuesday) to November 6th (Wednesday), 2024, exhibitions of 14 artists with ties to Kyoto will be held at various locations. I will do it. “Gekiryo” is a word that means an inn, and “Gekiryo Kyoto” imagines Kyoto as a whole, which has welcomed a variety of people, things, and events, as an inn. Curator Kodama Kanazawa wrote a text that describes all the venues and works in the form of a travelogue, and organizes the exhibition of the city of Kyoto and young artists into one exhibition. All exhibits are free to view. Additionally, many of the exhibited works will be available for purchase during the last week of the exhibition. Special site https://artrhizome.jp/
