Shibukawa ARTRELA 2024 Concept

"Artless" can mean lacking art, or it can also mean pure, rustic, honest, or pristine.

As a contemporary art term, it is often used in conjunction with "artful," which means blind faith in art,

However, it does not mean to emphasize an anti-art orientation, but rather to emphasize the balance between art and society. ("Dictionary of Contemporary Art Terms")

As we have built on in the past three articles, "creating artwork" is a necessary means, and it would be nice if we could do the exchange of the process in a way that is honest, simple, and respectful of people.

This is not to say that art is not necessary, but this time we will once again consider the relationship between art and the local community.

Our aim is not only to create a project as SEA (Socially Engaged Art),
but also we hope to deepen the relationship between the region of Ikaho, the people who come and go here, and art.
