NISHIMARU SHINYA Memorial hall, Kizaki lake side, Omachi city
We are delighted to present new artworks for Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival 2016. Titled The land’s telling, the storyteller of Water, this year's programme explores art's capacity to call up the fundamental sense of Art in this moment at Shinano, where JYOMON (Ancient Japanese) people used to live and to restore and strengthen relationship with nature and tobring people back into relation in their home communities. Also this festival aims to generate dialogue and, through collaboration, to fill the city with creativity by engaging with the local community in order to convey new values to the world at large.
Founded in 2010, Shinano Primitive Sense Art Festival is Omachi City’s largest annual celebration of art. Uniquely, the festival offers the chance to experience the best contemporary artists. Enjoy strolling along the Kizaki Lake and watch artists complete pieces, and you can feel the dynamics of the nature and the earth. To express your original primitive sense, please visit Shinano and Lake Kizaki in Omachi city where the beautiful lands of water welcome you for the bud of new creation.
