Theme of the Roppongi Art Night 2014

This year’s artistic director is Hibino Katsuhiko and the theme is “Move Your Body!” which focuses on the “physical nature of art.” You’ll see not only conventional art works, but“audience-participation parades,” interactive art, food stalls and much more take to the streets. We look forward to seeing you there!

Move Your body!
Eyes move, hands move, legs move, fingers move, heads move, hips move, chests move, throats move, bellies move, mouths move, noses move, ears move, eyelids move, lungs move, cells move, hearts move.

Ergo, art moves.
Art moves within our bodies.
When the body moves,
art moves.

So shout it to the land, and to the cosmos!
Move Your body!

―Hibino Katsuhiko―
