Coming up Next! Our Ecology: Toward a Planetary Living Exhibition to Open on Wednesday, October 18, 2023

2023.7.18 [Tue]

The Mori Art Museum is pleased to present the Mori Art Museum 20th Anniversary Exhibition entitled Our Ecology: Toward a Planetary Living from Wednesday, October 18, 2023 to Sunday, March 31, 2024.

The impact of humanity on our planet since the industrial revolution is said to match that of the thousands of preceding years of geological change. The environmental crisis is a challenge of utmost urgency, and right now an important theme on the international art scene. Our Ecology will feature four chapters of diverse expression courtesy of an impressive lineup of international artists, from historical works to a number commissioned especially for the exhibition.

The title Our Ecology: Toward a Planetary Living asks who we are, and to whom the Earth’s environment belongs, and the exhibition urges us to think about environmental problems and other issues not only from an anthropocentric perspective, but also by looking at the Earth’s multiple ecologies from a broader, more comprehensive standpoint. This sustainable exhibition, designed to reduce the use of transport to a minimum by reusing and recycling as many resources as possible, will make the Mori Art Museum a place to contemplate how contemporary art and artists have to date engaged with environmental issues, and how they can continue to do so in the future.

Three small programs are also to run concurrently with the exhibition.
