“Seeing” Guided Tour: Let’s “see, feel, and chat” at the Art Fair!

Lecturers: Art Communication Research Center (ACC), Kyoto University of the Arts

A program of participatory workshops will be held. This program is “Seeing” Guided Tour with a guided tour of the venue.

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.

Art Communication Research Center (ACC), Kyoto University of the Arts

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.
