한국미술을 언급한 일본의 블로그들을 찾아 돌아다니다가 http://ayya.exblog.jp/ 란 곳을 알게 되었습니다. 재미있게 보았노라 답글을 남기고 왔더니 주인장이신 Ayya님께서 이곳에 들러 자신의 프로젝트 서바이브아트를 소개해주셨군요. 게시판의 내용을 이리로 옮깁니다.

“Money is not everything” to “Think about money”

Concept of the exhibition

Suvivart is a framework that focuses on economy and community in order to “survive” (in Latin, SUR + vivre :surpass and live) in severe society.

Survivart will directly address the keyword “money”, which has been avoided to discuss openly and honestly in Japanese art scene. We especially support young artists’ activity through managing and promoting exhibitions or projects, and focusing on community networks.

1.
We, survaivart, back to the original concept that the word “art” indicates --- education, culture, and craft, and search a new and unprecedented way of expression which is released from the narrow range of “ art” that current Japanese society has. We will try to open and combine various genres, testes, and crafts, and create new frameworks through connecting several networks.

2.
We correct “survival” way of various people based on continuous research of their way of overcoming obstacles that irregularly and unexpectedly occurs in life (a daily life including artistic activity and economic activity). Our research is very open and contemporary that allows everyone to share the same information. We select the most appropriate media, such as electricity, paperwork, or visual, depending on each content, and introduce in a handy and portable way to fit for “survival”. We will construct and introduce researches as an objective outcome of each frameworks and projects, and as a real survival guide.

3.
When an artist tries continuous artist activity, economic condition will take an important and role and influence on his/her activity. However, Survivart suggests not to consider such economic severe condition pessimistically, but to positively accept part-time work and earn for their lives and activities. In such idea, it may be also acceptable not to rely on existing markets, but to evaluate freely based on one’s value and taste. Artistic activity and economic activity are the same status in terms of essential in everyday life. In other words, to live and survive in a society as a single individual meets the needs of the times of free expression, and it is also universal. It is totally acceptable to consider working as one of the way and source of artistic creation, study, and presentation.

We, survivart, do not have money as well. Surivart project is also for our survival of our own life.
