Contemporary Art

The Concentration in Art Theory and Practice, students can involve themselves in the creation of contemporary art. The contemporary art of today includes a great variety of forms and methods that can no longer be confined to the traditional frameworks of “fine art.” As a result, we have entered an era in which it is difficult to achieve common understanding of art throughout society. And for this reason, contemporary creators can no longer cling to existing “art” theories but must demonstrate the meaning of their creative activities through the inherent strength of their own creations and expression of their own thoughts and ideas. As a major, Art Representation seeks the realization of contemporary art based on this type of creative fusion of intellect and emotional sensibilities.


Art Activitie

Students will pursue practical studies, combining both experiments and actual management, based on a variety of art-related activities connected to artistic expressions, collaborations, support, curation, education, and management. Specifically, activities will include: the planning and executing of workshops and project-type artistic expressions that can only be held in conjunction with other people’s assistance; organizing, managing and supporting projects performed in collaboration with local communities and related organizations; planning and constructing archives that collect art-related references and information; and proposing uninhibited ideas and curating shows that are not confined within conventional exhibition spaces.
