Natural history specimens stored in museum storage are fundamental materials for understanding nature. Osaka Museum of Natural History holds approximately 2 million items, of which approximately 400,000 are plant specimens. These specimens are used by various researchers every day, and after extensive examination, the results are published as papers. For many people, the use of these specimens in research is probably something far removed from their imagination. This time, we will be exhibiting plant specimens held by Osaka Museum of Natural History that have actually been used in research, along with the results of that research, in the hope that many people will become aware of the excitement of research using specimens.

SIDE CORE is an art group that develops art projects that use public spaces and streets as backgrounds. His activities have been gaining attention in recent years, and this exhibition will be his first large-scale solo exhibition in Tokyo. For example, we use special methods to shoot highways, railways, underground waterways, etc., create installation works using street lights, guardrails, road construction signs, etc. that are visible in public places, and make mouse puppets that simply walk around Tokyo. SIDE CORE creates works such as documentaries by focusing on the unique public nature and institutions of the city and intervening and negotiating with them. His expression methods are constantly expanding and updating, and he is an artist who is currently developing and cannot be missed. In addition, this exhibition will not only take place inside the museum, but will also extend to the surrounding environment, allowing visitors to see how the imagination of the city can be expanded through art. In this exhibition, we will present a group of works divided into three themes based on our keywords of perspective, behavior, and storytelling. The perspective section presents a series of new three-dimensional works that simulate urban cycles using mainly street materials. The action section records the actions/expressions that intervene in urban situations and cycles with videos and photos. In the storytelling section we will present the latest version of the "Underground City" project, which has been ongoing since 2023 and explores Tokyo's underground spaces through skateboarding. Exploring the dark side of the city, accumulating small actions that feed noise back into the urban landscape. This series of actions involves the vision of a small part of Tokyo's urban system, but at the same time, they also touch off a chain reaction of cultural activism that transcends borders and time, and connects with people I think are unexpected. This is how to create it.

Noh reached its peak in the Muromachi period, and the Noh masks used in it are also of various types. In the Edo period, Noh became the "Shikigaku" (ritual art) of the samurai class, and the demand for Noh masks increased dramatically. When making masks, craftsmen in later generations mainly used "replica masks" that faithfully reproduced the scars, color peeling, and even the back scratches of medieval masks and famous masks. Some replica masks are not directly based on the model, but are made based on other replica masks. Replica masks are an important factor in understanding and experiencing the charm of Noh masks, so please enjoy them.

This exhibition consists of a group of works created using mathematical algorithms, music programming and 3D architectural data, which are installed in each space of "VS". Daito Manabe emphasizes that exploring the relationship between mathematics and music is the basis of his artistic activities. One of the sources of influence is the "Music and Architecture" (1971) by the contemporary Greek composer Yannis Xenakis. Xenakis is an experimental and innovative work of architect Le Corbusier in collaboration with architects at Expo 58. This pioneering expression can be said to be the origin of media art, in which the entire space is filled with organic light, color, video, rhythm and electroacoustics. The exhibition “Continuum Resonance” makes full use of PolyNodes (2024), a groundbreaking 3D sound software developed by Manabe in collaboration with Sinan Bokesoy (artist/composer). The software allows you to freely design and intuitively represent the movement and changes of sound in 3D space. By dynamically controlling the position, intensity and timbre of sound in space, and changing the visual elements accordingly, we have created an immersive experience that merges sound and visual elements. This allows the audience to experience audiovisual space like never before.
