A temporary exhibition holds a lecture about Isamu Noguchi in conjunction with “memory of site – place, power – of the place”.

Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) known as having designed peaceful Ohashi who appeared in the Hiroshima center. There was the person of atom bomb death memorial service monument plan that I dealt with by a request of Kenzo Tange who designed A-Bomb Museum in Hiroshima and a work of deep Noguchi of the relation. This plan ends in an illusion without seeing realization, but I do 2 laminar structure with the mortuary underground and remain in the memory of people as molding tinged with a deep spirituality now.

What kind of designs were the monument of Noguchi who ended in an illusion, the person of atom bomb death memorial service monument plan? Kenjiro Okazaki who is a molding writer, a critic inspects the interpretation of “the place” that Noguchi aimed at from a viewpoint of the public art with various documents.
