The exhibition plans to present an installation on the theme of “post-truth,” which refers to a society in which personal feelings influence public opinion rather than objective facts.
About
Formed in Kyoto in 1984, Dumb Type is pioneering Japanese art collective, composed of artists working in various different fields including visual arts, video, computer programming, music, and dance. Without a designated director, the group’s creative practice is based on flat, fluid, non-hierarchic collaborations that entail participating members to change according to each project. Engaging with a wide range of issues such as gender, race, AIDS, life and death, memory, and information society with an acute sense of criticism, they have presented various performances, installations, as well as stage works and exhibitions incorporating video works in museum and theaters both in Japan and overseas.
