Keiken is an artist collective co-founded in 2015 by Tanya Cruz, Hana Omori and Isabel Ramos, based between London and Berlin. Keiken (the Japanese word for ‘experience,’ which is at the centre of their practice) are collaboratively building and imagining speculative futures, to test-drive new structures and ways of existing. They do this through filmmaking, gaming, installation, Extended Reality (XR), blockchain, and performance. Last June-July 2023, Keiken presented “Palu Ángel Taizōkai,” an experiential installation using VR technology and tactile devices, at the “Incubation Pod – Dreaming Worlds” exhibition organized by the Theater der Welt in Frankfurt, Germany. From 7 October 2023, they will also present “Morphogenic Angels: Chapter 1” at the exhibition “DXP (Digital Transformation Planet) – Towards the Next Interface” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art inKanazawa, Japan. “Morphogenic Angels” is Keiken’s current ongoing and ever-evolving project, unfolding in a radically different time and space that transcends our current political, societal, financial and subjective reality. On the occasion of their visit to Japan, Keiken members will give a lecture for the first time in Tokyo. Keiken’s work transcends gender and species, and explores new and unknown visions and perceptions, while flexibly crossing multiple disciplines such as art, speculative design, games, and metaverse development. We will hear in detail about their methodologies and ideas on how art can reconstruct the “world” in the coming age and formulate questions to predict the future.

The Department of Global Art Practice (GAP), Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts is pleased to announce a public lecture by internationally acclaimed Cambodian artist Khvay Samnang and curator Chum Chanveasna. Khvay Samnang is a founding member of the Sa Sa Art Project, an artist collective based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and the Sa Sa Art Project was invited to participate in Documenta 15 this year. Khvay Samnang will be in Japan for the solo exhibition and will be teaching the Social Practice Seminar and GAP Seminar classes for the GAP on October 9, 10, and 11. The theme of the class will be “Where is my land?” and will explore the relationship between humans and the land, and our relationship to lost or dispossessed land. Khvay Samnang has created many works on the theme of the relationship between people and land, and in 2011 he created a work on the Great East Japan Earthquake. At Documenta 14, he presented a work in response to one of Asia’s largest tropical rainforests in Cambodia, where the construction of a dam has resulted in the loss of land and environmental destruction, threatening the livelihood and culture of the people who live there. A related class was given by Vietnamese artist Tuan Mami on October 4. Tuan Mami participated in Documenta 15 as a member of the Hanoi-based artist collective “Nha San Collective,” where he worked with Vietnamese immigrants to create “Vietnamese Immigrating Garden” (2022), a garden of Vietnamese plants. Documenta 15 featured many works that questioned the relationship between land and people over colonialism and dispossession. In the second semester of 2022, GAP (Imamura’s class) will continue to consider many of the issues presented at Documenta 15 as one of the “After 100 days” proposed by Documenta 15. This time, we will continue to consider the relationship between humans and nature and the environment. The lecture is open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend. Please come and join us.

We invite you to a special lecture by JINNOUCHI Takeshi, organized by the LEE Mina Lab of Global Art Practice (GAP), collaborates with the Department of Sculpture, Department of Craft, Department of Architecture
Lecturer: JINNOUCHI Takeshi, (Lumberjack, Representative of Kikori Builders) Moderator: LEE Mina, Associate Professor, Global Art Practice, Tokyo University of the Arts
Summary: Various issues have been pointed out surrounding Japan’s forestry industry, such as the stagnant price of domestic timber, neglect of forests, thinning and environmental conservation, and the relationship between climate change, natural disasters and the forestry industry. Globally, the trend is that it is impossible to have a forestry industry that ignores environmental conservation, and Japan is finally starting to move in a way that could be called a turning point for its forestry industry. The movement is a shift away from forestry simply for timber production and towards an act that links the environment, forestry, timber, and people’s lives: forestry that is not just about sales, forestry that considers the very nature of the mountains, how they are maintained, and how they are used. Solo-camping, another trend that seems to have been popularized by the pandemic, has triggered a rapid spike in the number of people from younger generations turning their attention to the mountains, and this trend, which also connects people to each other, appears to be accelerating even faster.
A path is being built in the forest. That alone brings the mountains closer to people. The desire is to share the view.
These are the words of JINNOUNCHI, self-proclaimed “lumberjack” who has engaged in forestry since moving to Hokkaido while also a musician, and representative of the “Mori to machi no gakko (School of the Forest and the City).” He will talk about what is happening in the forestry industry today. Two days after his lecture, on Saturday, June 25, at 3:00 p.m., he will take the ZOOM camera outdoors and broadcast from the actual forest site in Hokkaido. The same ZOOM link will be used; please join us there as well!
JINNOUCHI Takashi Born 1966. After graduating from the Department of Architecture of the Tokyo University of the Arts, and joining HARA HISAHI ARCHITECT, he moved to Hokkaido where he worked for the Shimokawa Town Forest Cooperative, before founding the Hokkaido Forest Governance Research Group, and later becoming a freelance forester. In 2019 he founded Kikori Builders to connect the mountain and architecture. As of 2021 he has called to establish the “Mori to machi no gakko (School of the Forest and the City),” and promote environmentally friendly forestry as the principle.
