Contemporary Art in Fukuoka: Legacy of the Kyushu School

This talk will take the avant-garde art collective Kyushu-ha, founded in Fukuoka in 1957, as its starting point, and explore the unique history of contemporary art initiatives that have unfolded in Fukuoka—ranging from Museum City Tenjin launched in 1990 to Art Fair Asia Fukuoka which began in 2015.
