關於展覽｜

在「宮城藝術的奇異點」展覽中，TURNAROUND 畫廊帶來的作品是與東北宮城縣相關的特色藝術家作品。這次很開心有機會在台灣舉辦交流展，希望能與台灣民眾分享日本藝文現況。曾經在東日本 311 大地震目賭了社會的混亂，在如此脆弱的系統中生存，隨時可能會在類似的事件再崩塌，所以絕不能失去對自己身份的認知。我們相信自己可以藉由探索且證明自己的奇異性所在，繼續在這個未來的時代生存下去。

About Exhibition｜

In Miyagi Art Singularity, Gallery TURNAROUND showcases the singular quality of artists connected to Miyagi Prefecture in Tohoku. We witnessed confusion in society in the aftermath of The Great East Japan Earthquake. When we live under a fragile system which may collapse during such events, we must not lose touch with our identities. We believe that we can survive in this era by discovering and demonstrating our own singularity.We are grateful for the opportunity to have this Exchange Exhibition and hope to share an expression of our situation with the people of Taiwan.
