Exhibition Information

			Welcome, while drawing a light but straight line.

I remember in one class thinking of an independent curator and hearing about how it would be to drop out of the class. There was a story that was so intense that it stuck in my head, but it was only a few years later that I realized how difficult it was for an individual to engage in art-related activities.
In fact, when I talked with someone in the art world, the word "Johnber" was often heard. Doing art is far from economic activities, and in the process, it was often seen as a situation in which one gave up what he/she pursued while confronted with reality. The meaning of this word is that it will be okay if you endure such a process.

Starting in 2018, "continuing artistic activities" will be held for the third time this year, collecting stories from artists who will be in such a process, or even if not. Since this exhibition begins with a writer, you may think that everything is going on under the title of an individual exhibition. However, this exhibition is more like an invitation to welcome another individual using the title as a platform. Those who come to the invitation share their art acts from one side, surrounded by previously built fire. Obviously, everything is being done in the white cube, but this is rather a picture of a rolling paper with many writings on it.

In the end, it is difficult for 'art' to converge to a single point. The art acts that everyone has are bound to be as different as the number of individuals. Spending aid for someone, feeling tired for someone, and yet finding energy in it will be the process of doing art. And if someone asks what art is and what its behavior is, this exhibition does not answer with a single sentence. Instead, they only vaguely paint the image of the lighthouse. It serves as a milestone by sending light to the sea where it is easy to get lost and keeping its balance. However, the role of the milestone is not important in wartime. It's just that the light that starts there is light, but it's only interesting to see the way it goes by drawing a straight line. The lighthouse will not converge into one like many art acts that will soon take place here, but it will be clear that it will take its own straight line on the invitation.
