Overview

Collection x Contemporary Art: Four Dialogues is a visionary exhibition that bridges the gap between historical heritage and modern creative expression. Four acclaimed contemporary artists—Hitoshi, Kota Tamura, Yuichiro Hasunuma, and Rena Sanpei—engage in a profound artistic conversation with the permanent collection of the Nagoya City Art Museum. By interpreting the museum’s storied archives through their unique perspectives and methods, these artists create a dynamic exhibition space where classic masterpieces coexist with newly commissioned works.

The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the Nagoya City Art Museum’s collection through a fresh, modern lens. Each dialogue serves as a portal into the artists’ creative processes, blending traditional aesthetics with experimental techniques. This curated experience not only celebrates the museum’s history but also highlights the evolving nature of art in the 21st century, making it a must-visit for those interested in the intersection of time, memory, and innovation.
