We are living
individual lives. One’s life
begins from the moment that he / she is born, and ends at the moment of
death. On the other hand, the human race is living on a longer time
span which has continued from ancient times. Throughout this long
history, the human race has been experiencing the evolution of both
intelligence and biological aspects. And it will keep evolving like
this in the future. In other words, we are living on a longer
evolutionary time axis as well as living individual lives.
However, this is a complex and sometimes contradictory territory. Often
the development of economic systems or political power may be the cause
of pressures for individual lives, and the developments of science have
been used for war. Whilst the inventions of civilization have greatly
benefited our daily lives, many people have also criticized these
inventions ever since the Industrial Revolution. In the realm of the
mass media and advertising the image of beautiful or strong people has
become the standard encouraging humans to evolve in this idealized
direction. However, such developments have also marginalized many
people who do not fit the ideal.

Art, in all
its various forms, has
contributed to the human race's intellectual evolution. In the realm of
art history, for example, the paintings of Edouard Manet in the 19th
century or the objects produced by Marcel Duchamp in the early 20th
century, serve as examples of works which were not highly valued at the
time of their creation. The value and perception of their works have
changed over the passage of time.
We can suggest that the axes of individual life and evolution are not
always separate. Sometimes they touch one another, as for instance when
an individual artist’s work contributes to the broader human evolution.
We are living individual lives. Yet at the same time, we are living in
the processes of evolution. Evolution will continue. But no one knows
the direction of this evolution.
This exhibition will try to think through the relations between art,
society, world, history and the future by considering the dual time
axes in which we are living today.
