One year has passed since everyone brought back memories of the day of Tohoku earthquake and tsunami by being asked question of "What were you doing that day?"

During that time, we ruminated over our personal experiences of the day of the disaster over and over ourselves. The troubles brought by the nuclear power plant accident awaken us that each "individuals" probability has different futures.

Then I remember before the day of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. A phenomenon that anonymously people name one parson's character on internet became a topic, "Me" as an interface changes depends o the situation was affirmed, "Divisualism", a noble that suggest the new idea of the subject was read by many people. Opening individually and flatness of "my" border; this kind of imagination must be change at least after the day of the disaster.

There were rubbles, radioactive materials, relief supplies and bodies,,,,. The unprecedented earthquake disaster exposed the materialistic side of the world. We are still wavering concerning about "Sharing" in the materialistic world.

The significance of existence of art became questionable, because art can be a tool of sharing the personal experiences by universal process. Is it possible to share other's experiences? ----

How the twelve artists response this basic question of the fundamental power of the expression. This show can be an important pass to cross for those artists who have been making their work after the day of the earthquake disaster.
