This is year three of the art project Laboratoire Village Nomade, based in a 150-year-old villa in Neufchatel, Switzerland. This year the project called on outstanding young artists from a number of Asian and Western countries for a 21-day workshop on the common theme of "silence and shadow". In order to conduct observations and gain new insights into the theme, for the first nine days of the workshop, the participants abstain from all conversation and live communally without the use of any electrical lighting. They expect their experimental interaction and experience will result in the creation of artworks giving rise to new discoveries and surprises. For the remainder of the period, they return to their regular living environment and, in addition to their own free creative activity as individuals, engage in open-ended joint work, including free discussions and collaborations. Ayako Mogi is among the four Japanese artists participating. |
