The second exhibition under the theme, “act of putting something to ordinary materials chosen for an artwork”, features artists across generations who adopt daily objects such as scrap iron, drawing pin, figure, hose and mask as a motif of their artworks. There has always been artists around the globe in different times who chose ordinary objects as materials for artworks. However, we may begin to see a distinctive vision of Japanese artists or a common direction across different times from viewpoint of how materials are chosen or how they are turned into artworks.
