宋冬－在家 出家

The “Culture City of East Asia” initiative selects cities in the three countries of Japan, China and South Korea, with the aim of developing art and culture, and in those cities various kinds of events related to contemporary art culture, traditional culture and culture from everyday life are held. In 2018 the initiative is being held in the three cities of Kanazawa (Japan), Harbin (China) and Busan (Korea). “Altering Home” is a large-scale contemporary art exhibition set in the city of Kanazawa, and as we develop this core activity of the “Culture City of East Asia” initiative, we adopt the mission to “live together with the world as it is now.”

In our modern age, a “home” is structured as a social system. Although the architectural, physical “house” is easy to generalize, the meaning of “home,” which is entwined with emotions, customs and culture, is difficult to capture unless it is considered multilaterally. In particular, nowadays when mobilization has become permanent by means of globalization, can “houses” or “homes” be found anywhere – or possibly, nowhere? Based on this question, within some of the unused spaces of Kanazawa, contemporary artists from Japan, China, and Korea will present their works on the theme of “home.”
