At the Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation 2, 9th Session, Tadasu Takamine, the contemporary artist and director, was invited and he gave a talk titled, “Positionality and Expression.”
He spoke about his works, “God Bless America”, which was created after the 9.11 Terrorist Attack in America, “Kimura-san”, a video artwork, and about his solo exhibition held after the Great East Japan Earthquake, “Tadasu Takamine’s Cool Japan”. He stated that the qualification of a person involved could be defined as not just about how much time one was involved with the subject, but also as something that one can earn with one’s own will.
