Research Abstract |
This research project has been proceeded as a non-selective investigation into a great heap of historical materials associated with approximately 300 events held at Sogetsu Art Center, Tokyo (c.1958-1971), the outstanding organization which has once played an experiment station and a radical transmission for its contemporary movements, the aspects of the 60's avant-garde in Japan. The achievement of the research process which can be analogized as the "archival practices" is as follows: a whole list of the physical material corpus (4,852 items, now in Keio University Art Center), an event-based bibliographical data (2,147 records) and the basic design of a logical structure (metadata schema) for the possible database which documents individual subjects in each event. Also the whole view of event-based printed matter (748 printed ephemera) issued from/around Sogetsu has become digitally accessible in collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
