Three Vision From Far Site

Towards New Commons: New Technology for Constructing New Communal Space
(Yusaku IMAMURA )
Art is a window to the world. In times of crisis and revolution, what can art, artists, and the institutions of art do? What must we do? There is much we could learn simply by having taking the roles of art and artist, and the challenges before them, and putting them all together on the same table.

카요코 이에무라 & 유사쿠 이마무라와의 대화
먼 곳에서 온 세 가지 비젼
(카요코 이에무라)
새로운 공유지를 향하여
(유사쿠 이마무라)
예술은 세상을 보는 창이다. 위기와 혁명의 시기에, 예술과 예술가들, 그리고 예술 기관들이 할 수 있는 일은 무엇인가? 우리는 무엇을 해야 하는가? 단순히 예술과 예술가의 역할 및 그들이 직면한 도전을 받아들이고 그 모든 것을 함께 고려함으로써 우리가 배울 수 있는 것이 많다.
