A program of participatory workshops will be held. This program will combine “Seeing” Guided Tour with a guided tour of the venue and “Making” Workshop in which participants can actually work with their hands to create artworks together with artists.
“Making” Workshop
Drawing Together with the Power of Breath
Instructor: Yamato Mio
Yamato Mio’s BREATH series was created using the power of breath. In this workshop, participants will experience this unique technique. Using a special paint mixed with red pigment, we will use our breath to blow paint-coated bubbles and capture them on the canvas.
As we will be working close to the canvas, please be aware that paint may splatter onto participants’ faces and clothing. Please wear clothes you are comfortable getting dirty.
Let’s “see, feel, and chat” at the Art Fair!

What is an art fair? What kind of artworks can we encounter?
Let’s discover new ways of “seeing” and “enjoying” artworks through interactive viewing, where everyone enjoys looking at artworks and chatting about what they think, feel, and discover. While navigating the venue with a guide staff member, we will take our time to appreciate the real artworks on display.

A research center attached to Kyoto University of the Arts, a research institute that explores the possibilities of art from various perspectives. It was established in April 2009 with Fuku Noriko as its first director, who was the first person to introduce the Visual Thinking Curriculum (VTC) developed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York to Japan. The interactive art education program ACOP (Art Communication Project) considers art communication in a broad sense, and approaches communication—the most important element for people to live with others—from the field of art to understand the nature of communication and how it can be nurtured.
