Showcase #1 Exhibiting Music

Showcase_1-1

Would it be possible to provide opportunities to experience musical pieces in the time and place we can visit freely like an art exhibition? “Exhibiting Music” is derived from such an idea.

In our project, we have produced high quality video works of several pieces of contemporary music in cooperation with composer, players, sound engineers, film director and film engineers of the Nihon University College of Art.

The videos are played repeatedly and shown simultaneously in several rooms. In addition, mini concerts, workshops and a public talk are included as parts of the exhibition. Please visit each room freely and stay there as long as you wish. The exhibition might be demonstrating a new approach of experiencing music of our time. Hope you will be exposed to new possibilities of musical presentation at the College of Art, Nihon University.
