January 5 \u2013 10, 2018
\nUeno Campus, Tokyo University of the Arts[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”14557″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]T<\/span>he Department of Arts Studies and Curatorial Practices in the Graduate School of Global Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts invited Professor Nicolas BOURRIAUD, an internationally renowned curator and writer, to conduct a series of lectures and seminars as a Special Guest Professor. This series was held at our Ueno Campus, from January 5 to 10, 2018, for students of our School, students of other Departments and Schools at TUA, as well as for the general public. The program was composed of two lectures and two seminars. The first Special Lecture was entitled Relational Aesthetics and Time<\/span>, and was held on January 5 for 120 minutes in English without interpretation, and the second lecture, entitled The Relational Landscape of the 21st Century: Art between Human and Non-Human Spheres<\/span>, was held on January 8 for 120 minutes in English with consecutive interpretation into Japanese. Both were open to students and faculty of TUA as well as the general public. Following those lectures, two Seminars \/ Lectures with Discussion Sessions, on the themes of \u201cThe Exform\u201d and \u201cExhibition-making\u201d, were held on January 9 and 10, for 130 and 90 minutes respectively, in the Guest Room of Red Brick Building Number 1 as part of Professor Yuko HASEGAWA\u2019s Seminar Course on \u201cArts Studies and Curatorial Practices: Curation I.\u201d In addition, prior to the professor\u2019s visit to our Department, Dr Futoshi HOSHINO, a scholar in Aesthetics and Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, delivered a 90 minute lecture in Japanese entitled Nicolas BOURRIAUD: A Curator as a Thinker<\/span>, as part of a pre-study session, which re-examined Professor BOURRIAUD\u2019s works and practices, surveying the exhibitions he has curated, from Traffic<\/span> (CAPC \/ Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporaine de Bordeaux, 1996) to The Great Acceleration<\/span> (Taipei Biennial, Taipei Museum of Fine Arts, 2014) and discussing his numerous critical writings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”14560″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n

*<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_column_text]P<\/span>rofessor BOURRIAUD started his practice in the late 1980s in his early twenties. Since then, up to the present, he has been a leading figure in the field of contemporary art, and has concretized one of its theoretical achievements through his exhibition curation and writings, both which bear extraordinary significance in the history of contemporary art. In 1995, he coined the term \u201cEsth\u00e9tique relationnelle \/ Relational Aesthetics,\u201d as a phrase to express the idiosyncrasies of certain contemporary art works. Later, in 1998, he published a book under the same title. Also, in the \u201cManifesto\u201d released on the occasion of his 2009 exhibition Altermodern<\/span>, he engaged in a deep examination of the possibilities of art as \u2018a reaction\u2019 against the cultural homogenization, mass production and commercialism which has expanded in the context of the further globalization of our age, and recounted the dynamism of \u2018cultural translations,\u2019 \u2018nomadism,\u2019 and so on, which mediated a wide range of hybridized and creolized cultures and their formats. These words and thoughts have been translated into many languages and have been widely spread around the world, offering immersive impact and influences and creating critical opportunities making possible numerous new interpretations and theoretical discussions on today\u2019s art. The professor was also a Founder and Co-Director of Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art space in Paris from 1999 till 2006, and Director of \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux Arts Paris from 2006-2015, and is currently working as Director of MoCo – Montpellier\u00a0Contemporain \u2013 a large-scale art complex in Montpellier, France, which includes an art museum scheduled to open in 2019.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”14566″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”14567″][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_column_text]\n

*<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]A<\/span>mong the lectures and seminars by the professor, in particular. the Special Lecture The Relational Landscape of the 21st<\/span> Century: Art between Human and Non-human Spheres<\/span> culminated in the professor clearly and articulately updating the analyses and discussions which he had been developing with new interest and concerns through a maturation of his earlier thoughts, in exhibitions and books of recent years. The lecture started with his thoughts and interpretations on the various situations surrounding us today, from social, ecological, anthropological to economic, political and cultural contexts, in the age of the Anthropocene era, Late Capitalism and further globalization. In the latter half of the lecture, he introduced and re-examined the works of artists who have reacted to such situations of our time and who have engaged with them through the practice of art-making, such as Gabriel OROZCO, Francis AL\u0178S, Mark LECKEY and Pierre HUYGHE.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]\n
