“Making” Workshop
Poi-poi Project
Instructor: Koyamada Toru Lab, Kyoto City University of Arts + Byproducts Market
Together with the Byproducts Market and Koyamada Toru Lab, participants will experience Koyamada Toru’s “Poi-poi Project.” Together we will gather items that spark our interest around Takaragaike Park, where ICC Kyoto is located, and within the venue itself. Through the repeated actions of gathering and observation, this workshop will offer insights into the “bricolage” approach—creating something necessary from what is at hand. At the end, we will give titles to the collected items (referred to as poi-poi, or “tossing”) and enjoy a collective viewing of all our creations.
Let’s “see, feel, and chat” at the Art Fair!
Instructor: Members of Art Communication Research Center (ACC), Kyoto University of the Arts
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.
