"What are these folk artifacts?" Exhibition at Musashino Art University Museum & Library: Unraveling the Forms of Life from an Art and Design Perspective
Summary
The exhibition "What are these folk artifacts?" is held at the Musashino Art University Museum & Library. It re-examines the folk artifact collection bequeathed by folklorist Joichi Miyamoto (1907–81). Focusing on forms born from daily necessities, the skilled use of natural materials, and the imagination that shapes the invisible, the display offers a fresh, cross-cultural encounter. Collaborating with "Art Magazine," the exhibition uses art and design perspectives to foster multifaceted understanding through participatory observation, unexpected juxtapositions, and digital reinterpretations.
