Map of Meanings III

Map of Meanings deals with the meanings and practices of everyday  life, in other words with the way daily activities and rituals,  for  example TV watching, cooking and eating, greeting or  celebrating are  dealt with in different cultures. 

The project MAP OF MEANINGS provides six Japanese artists from  various artistic genres including film, photography, video, fine  arts, music and performance art with an opportunity to conduct  intercultural studies in Vienna as part of an artist-in-residence  project. The artistic results presented reflect the project  participants` confrontation with the meanings and practices of  everyday life in Vienna as well as their experience with the local  art scene interpreted against their individual backgrounds. This  exhibition is produced by kuspace association as a contribution to  the Japan-Year held across the European Union in 2005.
