Art work by Itsuwo KANEKO in Abiko International Open-Air Exhibition 13th
Abiko International Open-Air Art Exhibition is made by artists and citizens by the art camp program. The art camp place is in Abiko-city, about 50km far from Tokyo. This art project consists of art symposium, open time of working and the art exhibition. Artists try to understand each other by self- presentation of their works in art symposium. Participated artists exchange with citizen volunteers by making art works together in the forest. They also urge citizens to participate actively and to understand the festival deeply by doing outreach activity at schools and community houses in Abiko-city.
In Jul. 1998, Abiko open-air art exhibition committee was organized by Citizens and artists. This committee has purpose to inform very important nature and culture to citizens. The theme is Smelling of fresh forest, water and culture. This committee is making the art project every year by itself. This committee uses the citizens owner project system to change their consciousness.
