About this event

What this is

From Today to Tomorrow: On the Stewardship of a Work is a contemporary art exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, exploring themes of artistic preservation, legacy, and institutional responsibility. The exhibition examines how artworks are maintained, interpreted, and transmitted across generations, reflecting on the museum's own role as custodian of contemporary creative practice. As a leading institution in Japan's contemporary art landscape, this thematic exhibition positions Kanazawa as a critical voice in global conversations about art conservation and curatorial ethics. The tentative title suggests an evolving conceptual framework that may shift as the exhibition develops.
