《Blue》- Mao Shibata
Mao Shibata
Born in 1998 in Yokohama. She graduated in 2022 from the Department of Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tama Art University, and completed her graduate studies in sculpture at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2024. Focusing on the diversifying connections between people in contemporary society and the "forms of communication" that emerge within them, she presents sculptures and installations. Her major exhibitions include:
2019-2024: Extreme Cold Art Festival Teshikaga / Teshikaga Town, Hokkaido
2024: Sono Aida #TOKYO MIDTOWN AWARD 4th Term / Nihonbashi, Tokyo
2023: Rokko Meets Art Gekijutsu Sanpo 2023 beyond / Rokko Mountain, Hyogo
2023: Tasou Sekai to Reality no Yoridokoro / NTT Intercommunication Center [ICC], Tokyo
2023: RECONSIDER / Think Again / Marco Gallery, Osaka
Blue
A blue sculpture is placed in the venue. It is projected onto a screen in real time, and chroma key compositing is performed using a blue backdrop. The blue artwork, along with people passing in front of the camera, is displayed on a monitor as a chroma key composited image in real time, revealing appearances that differ from reality. In an environment where, due to Covid-19, spaces for artistic expression have become more difficult to access as before, what becomes of the artwork’s physical presence? While it cannot be seen on the screen, the installation is designed to be experienced by visiting the venue in person.
《Dance Well》- Naoyuki Sakai
"The World Upside Down," a poem featured in a poetry collection by Ivonne Reiner, an American dancer of the postmodern dance generation, employs expressions such as "The world feels as if the heavens and earth have been completely turned upside down" and poses questions like "Where is the feeling of compassion?" While the specific message of this poem remains unclear, it has been newly interpreted to mean that "there is a vast difference between knowing something and actually taking action," which inspired the creation of a performance piece.
The poetry collection itself was written in the late 1990s, and considering that Ivonne Reiner was based in the United States, it is possible that "The World Upside Down" was written in the aftermath of witnessing the tragedy of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In a world where we cannot predict what tomorrow will bring, how can we behave and live?
Dance Well
Dance Well is a dance art activity primarily aimed at individuals living with Parkinson's disease, conducted in artistic spaces such as museums and natural environments. From children to adults, anyone can participate regardless of age or dance experience. It was founded in 2013 in Bassano del Grappa, Italy, and is now active in Japan.
Naoyuki Sakai
Naoyuki Sakai is a dancer and filmmaker who completed his graduate studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts. He traveled to Italy as a trainee under the Agency for Cultural Affairs' "New Artists Overseas Training Program." Sakai serves as an instructor for "Dance Well," an artistic initiative for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. He has performed in numerous stage productions across Japan, Europe, the Middle East, and various Asian countries. Additionally, Sakai has appeared in media projects such as RADWIMPS' live performances and Nana Mori's music videos, and has provided choreography for musicals.
Based in Kasukabe City, Sakai organizes events aimed at community development through art, produces videos, and conducts workshops. He was awarded the Grand Prix at the Geidai Art Festival for "Okaerikasukabe Ondo."

In the clamor and fragmentation of modern society, we often lose sight of the delicate harmony between our inner voice and the external world. Jung's concept of <Synchronicity> transcends mere coincidence, pointing to a mystical nexus where consciousness and the unconscious, individual and collective experience intersect. This exhibition invites diverse artists to reinterpret the present through the prism of <Synchronicity>. By dissolving the boundaries of dualities such as the individual and the collective, consciousness and the unconscious, it beckons us toward unconscious and serendipitous encounters.

Ginza Research.
We will arrange four speakers to create an experience that takes participants through different areas of Ginza. Centered on the interplay between urban visuals and sounds, we will blend landscape photographs captured by Miho Yajima with sounds collected on site by Berlin-based musician Tatsumi Ryusui, offering the audience a unique journey of sight and sound.

interpretation.
In each of the seven areas, art books brought in randomly are arranged. By reading one book per area, participants spontaneously discover related points, critique them, and generate new ideas. Unlike the trend of collecting materials based on algorithms, this project does not share participants' "reviews"; only the order in which the books were read is published as anonymous data. In a modern society where people are easily influenced by others' opinions unconsciously, the project aims to minimize arbitrary guidance in selecting materials and, instead, to evoke spontaneous thinking by having participants themselves explore the connections between the books.

context.
"Synchronicity" is an event designed for artists born through experimentation and co-creation, as well as for all participants who support the contemporary art industry. In the contemporary art event held in Omotesando in 2023, we adopted a harmonious approach to connecting with art expressions, which are often considered to have relatively high barriers to entry. By centering on the concept of "Borderless," we created an experimental space where diverse media such as video, photography, sculpture, and three-dimensional artworks coexist, fostering an open relationship between artists and viewers.
In "Synchronicity," we expand the venue by more than tenfold to achieve simultaneity along the temporal axis, thereby creating a space where participants can engage in imaginative exploration.
Main Visual and Logo
To express the theme of "Synchronicity (meaningful coincidence)," we combined two fonts that are similar yet different in a vertical arrangement. This design depicts a state where disparate elements are connected while subtly exhibiting slight misalignments, showcasing the beauty of coexistence between randomness and harmony. On the other hand, the main visual visually explores the image of diverse layers of expression overlapping and synchronizing.

Installation of Parent-Child Space, Childcare Booth, and Sensory Space
At this art event, we aim to create a space where all attendees can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
Parent-Child Space: A space where visitors with children can enjoy art together.
Childcare Booth: A free service where you can leave your children with a sitter.
Sensory Space: A relaxing area for those sensitive to sounds and lights or who require a quiet environment.
Each of these facilities is designed with consideration for the diverse needs of individuals, ensuring that everyone can comfortably enjoy their art experience. Instead of separating these areas into distinct spaces, the design allows them to share the same time and atmosphere, fostering a cohesive environment.
Note: The Parent-Child Space and Childcare Booth will be available from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Space Management: Sodateru Hataraku Project (Louvy Inc.)
The Hanarolo bead cushion values the warmth of domestic materials and craftsmanship.
Moreover, once the cushion is no longer in use, it is upcycled into new forms such as flower pots. It offers not only comfort but also a choice that is gentle on the Earth.
