Collection+ Secret of Art
2017.07.21 - 2017.0９.26
【Past Exhibition】
Since before the museum opened, Arts Maebashi has been presenting exhibitions centered on themes that added young artists’ artworks to our collection (Collection +). For “Secret of Art”, we added other artworks that we loaned from museums and private collections in the neighborhood and organized an exhibition focusing on the theme of appreciation.
The impressions and the feelings we get from the artworks considerably reflect our origin and our past experiences, as well as our memories. Also, contacts with art give us opportunities to rediscover our own self. The secret of art is not in the artworks themselves, but inside us, the ones who receive a message from those artworks.
This exhibition has been divided into 5 areas that will allow the viewers to have a contact with materials, society, artists, the others and theirselves. With this, we want to introduce viewers to several experiences of appreciation. First, you will look at the artworks with attention. Then, you will learn about the artists and the artworks background, and after that, if you’re interested, you will try to convey your impressions to someone else. In this way you will be able to experience other people’s feelings and opinions that might be different from yours. You might feel a little bit of discomfort by doing this, but you will get to discover and realize something new. Meeting with art will create an opportunity to learn about your own self. Wouldn’t you try to make such an experience?
