Over the past 10 years, the Tsumari Archive Center has been collecting materials ranging from those related to the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field to documents on other regional projects. Continuing the tradition from last year, we will once again be showcasing flyers and materials from art projects across the region at our “Used Paper Market.” This is a rare opportunity to take home materials that are now difficult to obtain. We look forward to seeing you there.
Tsumari Archive Center
Shimizu Elementary School, which has maintained a deep connection with the Interlocal Art Network Center—of which Kawamata Tadashi was the director—since it served as the center’s venue in 2009, has evolved into an archive and library facility. In addition to exhibiting new works, it serves as a vast art-related library housing materials from the art festival, documents on community-based art projects, and a collection of approximately 30,000 books donated by the late art critic Yusuke Nakahara.Since 2022, Kawamata Tadashi’s studio has been housed within the building.
