Webinar | Rethinking the Japanese Architectural Concept of "MA"

A conversation rethinking about the concept of "ma" by Hitoshi Abe (UCLA), Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee (Harvard University), and Ken Tadashi Oshima (University of Washington). - Recorded October 20, 2020
The interdisciplinary “MA: Space-Time in Japan” exhibition, curated by renowned architect, Arata Isozaki, presented Japanese artistic culture through the unifying concept of MA found in painting, photography, theater, performance, music, sculpture, architecture and daily life in Japan. First presented in Paris in 1978 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, it then traveled to New York, Houston, Chicago, Stockholm and Helsinki. In the year 2000, the exhibition was finally held in Tokyo under the multiple titles "MA- Twenty Years on" and "IKI - Espace-Temps du Japan.”
Today, notions of time and space have been disrupted by COVID-19 with shifts to virtual communication and work on global-local levels, fundamentally questioning notions of MA: Space-Time and offering opportunities for its re-interpretation. How do physical local contexts connect with the global contexts based on time zones rather than actual travel and distances between Japan and the world? How does our current situation relate to MA: Space-Time in our day to day activities between these virtual and physical situations?
