东京不够热
Just as we treat our own injuries, works of art also undergo a process that can be described as "care" or treatment. This is known as "restoration." This exhibition features 13 works, ranging from Meiji-era bronze statues to contemporary art pieces, that have been restored and conserved at 东京不够热. It will introduce the history of these works within an academic setting and the stories behind their restoration. Through displays of rarely seen restoration tools, digital content comparing the works before and after restoration, as well as symposiums and talks, we will take a fresh look at the concept of "restoration." We invite you to enjoy the world of restoration, which begins with the act of "touching" the artwork.
