Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival 2023
The Mountain Dewdrop and Water Ripples
The Mountain Dewdrop and Water Ripples
The Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival, now in its 14th year, will be held under the theme of ” The Mountain Dewdrop and Water Ripples,” which is invoked by standing in a place of momentary improvisation, like a dewdrop polished by the mountains. We aim to create a festival in which one mountain dewdrop of the Northern Alps can remind all visitors to this land that, like a ripple, they are expressers in all forms.
Primitive Sense
When people straightly face to the nature, primitive sense will return to our feeling. I think fine art is born at that moment. “Nature” is not only at outside of us, contains the life of ourselves, inherited from the origin of life. The true richness is that there is beauty normally in the living that has been inherited from the Jomon period. We will create a local “culture” by staying on the shore of Lake Kizaki, which is surrounded by the majestic nature of the Japanese Northern Alps, and creating expressions that can only be created by meeting local people who live there. It is to create a festival as a cultural boundary that connects the outside and the locals, connects art and tradition, and cities and regions.
