Kogei Artists Promotion Project
Syuto Kanazawa
Project Objectives
The project focuses on artists working at the intersection of Kogei (craft) and contemporary art, aiming to develop creators who challenge existing boundaries and explore new forms of expression in both domains.
Project Approach
This project focuses on the potential of “Kogei” as a new 21st-century art form, nurturing artists working at the intersection of craft and art. It includes international symposia in collaboration with overseas research institutions and special exhibitions at global art fairs. By strategically developing talent, expanding overseas, and redefining its context, it aims to create a new artistic content market for Japan’s “Kogei”.
