The concept of this project : [fusion]

The theme of this project: [Exceeding the boundary of nation, religion and
race with art, it will be connected ! ]

This art project is working on jigsaw puzzle that sees in imagination of
various relations and nonrelation, order and disorder and so on like
puzzling out the game. (It means, nobody can see the whole image
before finishing assorting and puzzling out it.) Various things keep existing
with some influence or some relationship without relation to the
intention of each one. Namely this project will portray the various
relations and non-relation, order and disorder of existence. And this
project portray simultaneously some kind of the Mandara-like world view
which was opened. (It is never limited to Buddhism or Tantric Buddhism
sense.) Now when economy or politics of the world is getting selfish, art will
be able to diffuse the importance and feasibility of reconciliation, because
we need no more opposition and separation. That probably will be? (We have
no intention of being active politically with art.) This project will be valid
because it is possible to be connected and respect the individual identity.

The outline of working process :

prepares the plain color jigsaw puzzle. After each pieces of jigsaw puzzle are
done kinds of artistic way by the participants (No limit to the number of the
participants whom is artists, the workshop participants and purchasers of
puzzle kit. And it`s also possible to work by one person.), those puzzles is
built up.
1 : The participants arranges(For example, paint, print photo, collage and so
on) one side of those puzzles.
2 : After art work by the participants, those puzzles are brought together in
one designated place.
3 : Building up those puzzles.
4 : Taking a finished work with camera.

This project wouldn`t have to decide finished work, and it'd be able to keep
on this project endlessly (So that means an everlasting puzzle, an expanding
puzzle.)
