This year we marks 15th anniversary of the opening of Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto. The exhibition "Kumamoto Admirable" commemorates the anniversary.
Kumamoto Castle, Ikiningyo, Higo Rokka, (six flowers of Higo Province, the ole name of Kumamoto), Ishimure Michiko (author of "Paradise in the Sea of Sorrow: Our Minamata Disease", activist from Kumamoto) are the themes that belongs to Kumamoto culture and history, the internationally active contemporary artists faces the themes sincerely, and the commissioned works are unveiled in this exhibition. And also we show the ongoing research results of the Ikiningyo with new discoveries.
We have faced with disasters not only Kumamoto earthquakes but also natural disasters, human accidents, Hiroshima, Minamata, Great East Japan earthquakes. We would like to verify them through the artists’ point of view in this exhibition. The art works will suggest new beauty and value that based on human dignity and harmony. That will be a hope of the cultural reconstruction in Kumamoto.
