“I was worried that I, the artist Morimura, would have conflicts with the participating artists and develop a strenuous relationship with them. But the actual experience was completely the opposite.

I strongly feel that the fact that my being an artist avoided the usual curator vs artist tension, and led to creating a positive atmosphere as well as developing a solidarity amongst artists and building a community for artists.” FeelsWellsFactsArtistCommunityBuildingConflictCreatingOppositesFellowsAcceptedDevelopingWorriedAtmosphereTensionUsualSolidarityPositivelyAvoidedRequestParticipatingBeing An ArtistCurator Author:Yasumasa Morimura
