Hills Art & Life Project Community Engagement Program “Neighborhood Seen through Art - In Reference to Circulating ‘Commons’” Ver. 1: “THE FURNITURE”

2018.8.17 [Fri]

Since January 2018, we have started a research project on those related to the Toranomon/Nishi-Shimbashi neighborhood. Based on the research now, planning of some workshops, talks, tours, and exhibitions has been underway, and they are collectively themed “THE FURNITURE.” Centered around western-style furniture that the area has been well known for the production of, the series of these events aims to propose new way of art’s engagement in community.

About the “Community Engagement Program”

Symbol of Roppongi Hills’ status as the “cultural heart of the city,” as well as staging exhibitions, since opening the Mori Art Museum has offered a range of learning opportunities via its diverse learning programs. With its aim of extending the settings for learning through contemporary art from the museum right out into the community - i.e. the surrounding neighborhood and wider city - the “Community Engagement Program” is a unique learning program only the Mori Art Museum and Roppongi Hills could offer. Since its launch in 2016, several initiatives tying contemporary art to familiar lifestyle themes, such as music and food, have been rolled out in the local area.
