About

「岸壁の父母」は、O JUNとカトウチカによる現代美術の展覧会の企画開催及び、若手アーティストの応援、そしてアーティストの発掘を目的とするキュレーションを定期的継続的に行ってゆく共同体である。O JUNとカトウチカは、共にアーティスト(O JUNは画家、カトウチカは美術家)であるが、それぞれの作家としてのこれまでの経験を活かし、アーティストサイドとオーディエンスサイドの両面から現代芸術のかかえる問題を踏まえ、次代の芸術を見据え、同時代性、先見性をもった真に創造的なアーティストを探し出す。そして、絵画を始めあらゆる表現形式、媒体を通して質の高い作品を制作している若手アーティスト、また年齢を問わず、真摯に制作を続けているアーティストの支援として、発表と活動の場をつくり広く紹介して行く。またアーカイブのため記録集を制作して行く。

“Mom and Dad on the Cliff” is a collaborative duo consisting of O JUN and Chika Kato. As a collective, they regularly and continuously organize contemporary exhibitions with the aims of supporting young artists who create high quality works, and unearthing artists of any age who have sincerely and consistently produced their own works, through all forms of expressions and media. O JUN (painter) and Chika Kato (artist) make full use of their respective career experiences in order to discover truly creative artists with contemporaneity and foresight. This is executed through their focus on the next generation of art by basing their ideas on the problems contained in the contemporary arts, which are seen from both the perspective of artists and that of the audience. Therefore, they support young artists and artists of any age by creating opportunities for exhibitions and artistic activities, and widely publicizing those events. To archive their activities they also publish documentations of their exhibitions and events.
