Those three artists above are planning to make a new work on "current situation in Tokyo." On this workshop, we will ask each of them to talk about the image or the plan of the works they are planning to make, and then discuss and exchange opinions with participants. On this workshop, we aim to share the art making processes at very moment of creation so that we can experience artists' attitudes when creating in real time. So this is not a "how-to" workshop that teaches the process of creation step by step. We'll announce the theme of research each artist will be working on as soon as they decide.
