Freedom of expression Writer's resumption appeals International art festival exhibition partly canceled September 10 at 15:58
It is clear that a part of the exhibition at the International Art Festival held in Aichi Prefecture has been canceled, and that the artists who have exhibited their works will hold an interview in Tokyo and seek to resume the exhibition. I made it.
The artists who participated in the exhibition at Aichi International Art Festival “Aichi Triennale” held a conference in Tokyo on the 10th.
At this art festival, an exhibition was held on the theme of “freedom of expression”, but protests gathered for “girl image” with a comfort woman motif and collage works of the emperor. Since the fax arrived, it was canceled 3 days after the opening.
At the interview, the authors complained that it was strange that many works could not be viewed at the venue due to the cancellation of the exhibition or the boycott by the artist. Then, in order to resume the exhibition during the period of the art festival until the 14th of next month, the SNS and other messages sent to the exhibition from the world were introduced. It was clarified that a place to discuss directly was established.
One of the artists who participated in the interview, Akio Koizumi, said, “If you notice it, self-regulation is being done. It is clear that political works can no longer be displayed at museums.” It was.
