Dot In Japan: Summoning the “大東亞共榮圈(GEACPS)” to the present

We planned to embark on a research trip to examine how contemporary art from Southeast Asia, once grouped under the banner of the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere,” has been collected and represented in Japan, based on materials from local museums and institutions, as well as interviews with officials. 

‘대동아공영권’의 구호로 묶였던 남동아시아 현대미술이 일본 내에서 어떻게 수집되고, 서술되어왔는지를  현지의 미술관 및 기관의 자료, 관계자 인터뷰를 거쳐 살펴본다.
