Date and Time

Closed: Mondays (except for January 13th (Monday, national holiday) and February 24th (Monday), January 14th (Tuesday), February 25th (Tuesday)

An exhibition will be held that will interpret 3,100 pieces of the "Hokkaido Art" collection from a new perspective, out of the approximately 6,000 pieces in the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art's collection. In this exhibition, with the cooperation of CAI Contemporary Art Institute/CAI03 (Sapporo), nine artists will select works that interest them and exhibit them alongside their own works. It is hoped that the intersection of past and present works will lead to new dialogue and chemical reactions.

In addition, ten curators from the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art will also select works from their collection and introduce the results of their in-depth research through exhibits and texts, digging into the themes and historical background of the works and creating a space to share these with viewers.

The Austrian literary scholar Stefan Zweig described decisive creative moments in history as "Sternstunde (star moments)." Through the combined perspectives of artists and curators, this exhibition aims to bring to light "star moments" from the past while also creating new "star moments" for the future.
