To think about "oblivion" is to think about "what art is".

Even Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were entertainers. In that way, I am an entertainer and want to make art that is fun.

"Art is the ability to turn one's gaze to the world of oblivion." This is the way in which I understand art at fundamental level.

The value of art is its ability to look into the "world of oblivion" and to find things that are generally unrecognized, forgotten, invisible and impossible to tell.

Art is basically entertainment.

By putting a border line between life and death, we separate the world of death from our world of life, casting the dead away into the "world of oblivion".

The artists could be dead, but some of them are not so distant from us, and make us feel as if they are alive with us. Such artists are worth calling "contemporary artists".

I think it is important to be aware that the Internet has replaced the television, and has become a place where the uniformity of human society is accelerated.

When we talk about contemporary art and contemporary artists, we usually imagine artists who are alive. But I feel very uncomfortable about placing a border between living artists and dead artists.

Of course, the process of curating is different from art making. Exhibition-making is a process that involves collaboration with various participating artists.

I put priority on such artists who focus on the world of "oblivion" and who consider placing themselves into the world of "oblivion" as fundamental to their attitude for their expression.
