Passage

2022

The black building has multiple entrances, subtly connecting with the outside world. It does not impose the typical rigidity of an art museum, but instead contains breezy, open pathways that invite movement and flow.

What I envision is a new kind of museum—one that turns no one away. A place where people from all walks of life can encounter, engage with, and express art in their own unique ways.

To celebrate the opening of this new space, a procession of musicians and dancers parades through the site, blending with the visitors themselves. It is in this merging of "pilgrims" and "strollers"—those who wander and those who walk—that my hopes are carried.

—Miwa Yanagi, Artist

その⿊い建物は、いくつもの⼊り⼝を持ち、さりげなく外界とつながり、美術館特有の堅固さを感じさせない、⾵通しの良い通⾏路を内包する。

夢想するのは、来る者を拒まず、さまざまな⼈々が、さまざまな形で、芸術に対峙し、語り、⾃ら表現することができる新しい美術館である。

efe新しい館を寿いで練り歩く楽団とダンサー、そこに鑑賞者たちが混ざり合う「遊⾏者」と「遊歩者」の交流にその願いを託した。
