“Art Camp for under 22, Vol. 12 Utter a Voice, Listen to Its Resonance” (Two-day Program)

MAM Project 031: Jinushi Maiko Related Program
Conducted in Japanese

Doubtless many of us have heard a recording of our own voice and found it a slightly unsettling experience. In this program, participants will join Jinushi Maiko - whose latest work is currently on display in MAM Project 031 - in various conversations around the theme of voices, before taking to the streets of Roppongi Hills to experiment with using their own voices as a means of expression. This two-day program spent in dialogue directly with the artist promises to be a priceless opportunity to focus on “voices” of different sorts and the tendency to suddenly doubt our own judgment when we listen to them objectively, and also to use our voices to confirm our own existence, and build a picture of others beside us.

About “Art Camp”

Over the years, Mori Building Company and the Mori Art Museum have collaborated with artists from across the globe to run a variety of programs at the Museum and out on the streets. Summer 2018 saw the launch of a new “Art Camp” program targeting younger art-lovers; giving them the opportunity to discuss “contemporary art” with artists and curators in a different environment from the usual school format of “teacher” and “taught,” employing the Museum and entire Roppongi Hills neighborhood as a canvas. Talking with others encourages participants to think about current happenings at home or school, historical events, social, political and cultural developments in the wider world, and the connection of all these with contemporary art, helping them to explore interesting and enjoyable aspects of contemporary art.
