Scheduled to be held on the weekend

Information will be guided on this page.



The Total Foundation Practice (SOUKISO) is an inter-disciplinary course offered by the Faculty of Fine Arts at Kyoto City University of Arts (KCUA/KYOGEI). SOUKISO has over 40 years of experience and is a unique and very important program that all new students take, starting from the practical examination skills into the real creative world. The Program is created by faculty members across disciplines of practice, theory, and liberal arts for each assignment. In the 2023 Total Foundation Practice, Assignment 2, we explored the possibilities of the "body" from the aspect of sports, expanding the senses, emotions, and thoughts, and held the art event "Super Athletic Meet". This time, as an "Extracurricular," we will experience KARAHORI, where +1art is located, with our own bodies and make it an assignment to express our own physical way.

In general, galleries are used to exhibit finished works of art and let the audience see them. While that is interesting in its own right, I had been thinking for some time that there might be a way to expand the use of galleries beyond that. The project for this exhibition was born out of a discussion with a faculty advisor at Kyoto City University of Arts.
In this exhibition, the process and results of students' research and creation of works in the Sorabori area where the gallery is located, as well as works created with the involvement of viewers, will be exhibited and posted at the venue and on the Internet, and talk events and spontaneous events (dates and times to be announced on the website) will also be held. This will be the first time for everyone to experience an extracurricular exhibition that makes the gallery a part of the classroom.

About KARAHORI

The Karabori district, located in the center of Osaka City, is where the outer moat protecting the southwest side of Osaka Castle was located. It is said that the name "Karabori" was given to the area because of the location of the outer moat of Osaka Castle fortifications during the Toyotomi period.
After the great upheaval of the Osaka Winter and Summer Campaigns during the Warring States period, this area was the only area in central Osaka that did not suffer any damage from the war, even though most of the city was destroyed by fire.
The "Karabori Shopping Arcade" is a shopping street stretching 800 meters from east to west, connecting Matsuyamachi-suji to Uemachi-suji. Stores began to gather here gradually from the Taisho era (1912-1926), and a shopping association was formed in 1945 (Showa 20). In addition, the area to the north and south of the district has a mix of individual stores that were originally tenement buildings, even in the back alleys, and the townscape and historical resources that tell the history of Osaka's central residential area.
