Building upon the Japanese philosopher Yanagi S\u014detsu\u2019s folk art movement mingei, the journey was intended to test and create human relationships through the collective production of single pieces of pottery. Tanaka explains: \u201cBecause they concentrate to build one piece of pottery using all their hands, participants need to forget themselves and just focus on making. Documentation of the process would mean capturing it as if it were an action without anybody\u2014silent concentrative action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tanaka and Hu will invite a rethinking of conceptual approaches in art practice today by discussing the creation of Tanaka\u2019s work a pottery produced by 5 potters at once (silent attempt) (2013), currently on view at the Japanese Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale. In this context, the temporality and collaborative nature of ichi-go, ichi-e raises questions related to communication, process, and perception.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the turbulence and loss brought about by Asia\u2019s modernization, Hu asks, \u201cWhat kind of possibility can the making of pottery\u2014one of humanity\u2019s oldest survival techniques\u2014give us today? How can it help us to reconnect to the world? If art practices and survival techniques are supposed to be inseparable, how can we rediscover such a union? Through what methods and trials?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The program is curated by Heidi Rabben and Xiaoyu Weng.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time: September 21, 2013 @ 5:00 pm \u2013 6:30 pm Location: Kadist Art Foundation, 3295 20th Street, San Francisco,CA 94110, USA Official Link: http:\/\/www.asiancontemporarysf.org\/acaw\/ http:\/\/www.asiancontemporarysf.org\/acaw\/event\/in-conversation-yanagi-soetsu-comes-here-without-invitation-acaw-sf-highlight-program?instance_id=177 In the early winter of 2012, the artist Koki Tanaka and the curator and writer Hu Fang began a journey to explore the concept ichi-go ichi-e (literally \u201cone time, one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4552,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550\/revisions\/4552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitamincreativespace.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
