With a focus on avant-garde activities in Tokyo in the 1960s, this program explored the relationship between contemporary art, the city and the environment by reconsidering art that responds to society and the city of Tokyo as a vessel for artistic activities. Guest lecturers from diverse fields conducted presentations and workshops that provided an overview of activities in art, architecture, film, and social movements in Japan at that time. There were also opportunities to hear from artists who were active in the 1960s and to view rare archive footage. The program made use of art museums in Tokyo and the TUA archives, while also visiting artist studios and galleries to touch on the current art scene. The second half of the program allocated time for production, during which individuals and groups created and exhibited works to the public. It was an opportunity for participating students to receive valuable feedback from visitors from outside the university.
