\u3010Past Exhibition\u3011<\/p>\n

Hikkuri-ko, gakkuri-ko \u2013 the sound of footsteps under the influence of a little alcohol? Rendered in the exhibition\u2019s English title as \u201cFlap-flop, Clap-clop,\u201d this is how Sakutaro Hagiwara, in an unpublished manuscript, transcribed the sound and feel of a nighttime walk around the city.
We walk toward other places, encounter other people. Sometimes we have a purpose, sometimes we go where the wind blows. Because we cannot live alone, we turn to somebody else and speak words.
Words are what connect us with other living people; to use words is also to live, to create, to weave, to sing, to think, to seek.
We are never quite in touch with these words. The works of poets feature words that slip
through our fingers, words that have sloughed off their meanings, words that carry an unbearable weight \u2013 but they also depict the faintest tremors of the heart that could not be captured without words. To us, words themselves also constitute the other \u2013 all the more reason why we must take a close look at their appearance, at their character.
In recent times, the concerns of cultural anthropology \u2013 the formation of words tied to
physical acts like speech and song, say, or regional writing and poetry \u2013 have borne on how we look at words. The technologies of printing and the internet radically transformed the character of words that once had a close connection with the body and with nature. Now, the increase in moving images is reaffirming to us the real variety of bodies and types of speech in existence.
Then there is the experience of crises such as war and natural disasters. While these cast doubt and criticism on language-centric reason and rationalism, they can also be seen as opportunities to refine our delicate understanding of words. Think of strategies to avoid being dispossessed of one\u2019s language by confining it to a private sphere, or of radical experiments to wrench words from their molds and set them free. It is a characteristic of times of crisis that such efforts become more apparent.\u3000
As we pass from the early period of internet democracy into the \u201cpost-truth\u201d age, today\u2019s words are confronted with issues of division and security. We planned the exhibition Flap-flop,Clap-clop: A Place Where Words Are Born with a view to drawing attention to what artists, who\u3000contemplate words through their own acute senses, feel and express \u2013 particularly in this socalled\u201cpost-truth\u201d age.
Welcome to a place where words come into being, born out of our existence and culture.<\/p>\n
