Independent curator
An exhibition spanning 10 venues across Kyoto, featuring 14 artists with ties to the city.
“Art Rhizome KYOTO 2024 Gekiryo Kyoto: Kyoto Wander – A Transient Journey to the Everlasting,” an exhibition connecting 10 venues that tell the story of Kyoto’s rich culture and history, including lodging facilities, commercial spaces, and public areas. The word “Gekiryo” means “hotel,” symbolizing Kyoto itself as a kind of inn, welcoming diverse people, objects, and events throughout its history.
Curator Kanazawa Kodama has written a unique narrative in the form of a travelogue, describing each venue and artwork, weaving together the city of Kyoto and the works of emerging artists into a cohesive exhibition.
