A History of Expression Centered on Streets and Observation: The "Present" of Kōgen-gaku
Masterpieces of the street by masters of observation and "unknown creators."
"Kōgen-gaku" (the study of contemporary matters), initiated by Kon Wajiro and others following the Great Kanto Earthquake, was a unique research endeavor that focused on the streets and customs of Tokyo to investigate and examine the current state of life. Since then, activities that draw attention to the creativity of ordinary people by "observing" things found "on the street," such as those by the Urban Observation Society formed in 1986, have been developed in various fields up to the present day.
The exhibition "A History of Expression Centered on Streets and Observation: After Kōgen-gaku" held at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art introduces creative works discovered by observers on the street and examines how the act of observation/discovery is sublimated into "expression."
This book, the official publication of the exhibition, includes not only artwork images and valuable materials by the exhibiting artists but also essays and columns from various fields such as urban studies, architecture, cultural studies of representation, and art criticism, offering a multifaceted examination of the grand chronicle surrounding streets and observation.
