Organized by the Geidai Project, this exhibition highlights Japanese artists exploring the themes of 'disconnection' and 'recovery.' In correspondence with the New Museum's ongoing exhibition 'New Humans: Memories of the Future,' the show offers a reflection on future visions that differ from existing value systems.
Rediscovery Project will exhibit non-standard ceramic shards, several vessels reconstructed using the Kintsugi technique, and flat works combining Japanese Washi paper with ceramic pieces. These materials include fragments of white porcelain from the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake. The exhibition also features five vessels lacquered and painted in vibrant colors like red and yellow. Additionally, a documentary capturing the daily lives of project members working with these fragments will be shown, sharing the process of dialogue and co-creation.
