The book as ART ; An image of a book, or an extracted form.

2013.9.7-9.22

When I was little, I often got into the world of books and couldn't get out.

Sometimes it takes us to a world of imagination that jumps over reality.

Even now, as an adult, I still remember that feeling of excitement.

 

The book as ART exhibition will be held in five locations in Nagoya and its suburbs.

This time, lined up here at feel art zero are neverending stories imagined and created by five artists.

The creators are never bound by the format of the book.

What I hoped for artists is that excitement that exists in the very existence of “books” that each person finds.

Or the imagination itself.

 

It's a very interesting opportunity to actually see the world inside the minds of artists like this.

It would be greatly appreciated if everyone who visited us on the autumn day of reading could fully read the world view of these five rare artists.
