Yurara Mori “World Peace Plan” — The 70th Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation/Completion Works Exhibition
I visited the 70th Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation/Completion Works Exhibition.
This time, from among the students with high grade evaluations, I introduce Yurara Mori’s display.
I had also been paying attention to Yurara Mori in her undergraduate graduation work. For the undergraduate display, please see the article below.
This work, presented as her completion project, created a space imagined as a “grindhouse.”
A grindhouse is the name for the many cinemas that once existed across the United States. Not first-run theaters, but the nickname for run-down, out-of-the-way cinemas that cheaply screened B-movies—shown over and over here and there—as double or triple features.
Entering room 709, the display space, rock sound flowing from an analog record player echoed through.
The exhibited work was created not by Mori alone but with the help of acquaintances, she said.
The painting displayed on the wall is a large canvas work. The motif depicted was a figure standing in an American cabaret.
I felt it would be fun to actually spend a lively, boisterous time in such a space while drinking.
A large-scale completion work that transcended the frame of art.
