Jichiku 2021: “Age of Decoupling” Series, Part 1
Meiro Koizumi: Prometheus Bound
2021.12.11 (Sat.), 12 (Sun.), 17 (Fri.), 18 (Sat.), 19 (Sun.)
A long-term project of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, “Jichiku” (lit. “autonomous region”) is not limited to art but intersects with other fields such as science, history, and sociology. It includes live performances, video screenings, talks, artist residencies, and workshops traversing the genres of music, movies, and theater, which are presented throughout the year. Through partnerships and collaboration with external communities, we are conducting experimental activities that transcend the conventional exhibition venue. Jichiku 2021: “Age of Decoupling” is a two-part series featuring Meiro Koizumi and Akira Takayama. Today we live in a society of ever-accelerating efficiency and competition amid a superheated market economy, generating interpersonal disparities, conflicts, and polarization. What stance should we take toward the realities of systemic injustice and unreleased emotion, laid bare more than ever by the pandemic? Through the works and activities of these two artists, we open up possibilities to engage with these issues on a personal level.

Ayaka Ono & Akira Nakazawa / Spacenotblank「Modest Difference」
2021.7.3 (Sat.), 7.4 (Sun.)
Modest Difference is a theater piece written by Shuntaro Matsubara, directed by Ayaka Ono and Akira Nakazawa, and performed by Chika Araki, Yuki Koga, Hiromi Nishii, and Masayuki Yano. The stage is set up as if the actors are gathering in a meeting room of words, human and human before us, yet portraying the modest notion that perhaps we are all just drifting. In this production Spacenotblank, explorers of the value of all performing arts, accept and resist the presence of boundaries between people in today's world, controlled by scripts, and demonstrate these on the stage.
