I visited “Time/Sculpture — Forms That Leap Through Time,” a sculpture exhibition organized by the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts. The venue is the Chinretsukan Gallery of the University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts.

The theme of this exhibition is “time.”
Nine artists — current faculty, assistant professors, and assistants of the Department of Sculpture — each express time through their own work.
