The Access Program focuses on the artists participating in Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015 and invites participants to take various approaches in getting to know the artists and their works. For this Access Program, the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (MoMAK) curator Chinatsu Makiguchi gave a talk focusing on the works of Parasophia participating artist Pipilotti Rist in the museum’s collection.
Topics discussed included works currently on view in the exhibition Personal Antidisaster Plan in the museum’s fourth-floor Collection Gallery, specifically Rist’s Enlight My Space (2008) and Healing (2004), Lucy Orta’s Refuge Wear: Ambulatory Survival Sac (1993) and the publication The Whole Earth Catalog (spring 1969 issue).
In fact, the first time Rist’s work was shown in a Japanese museum was also at MoMAK, in the 1999 exhibition Visions of the Body, and Makiguchi discussed Rist’s special feelings toward Kyoto and the contents of discussions she held with Rist over her participation in Parasophia, providing insights that could not be obtained just by viewing the artwork, along with explanations of the works themselves. Among the highlights of the talk was a surprise appearance by Rist herself, who took time out from a rehearsal for her own lecture to join in the discussion.
Rist’s lecture later that night (see Open Research Program 09 [Lecture] Pipilotti Rist) was attended by a larger-than-expected crowd, despite a fierce rainstorm.

Personal Antidisaster Plan // “Contemporary Art: Personal Antidisaster Plan,” from the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto’s 1st Collection Gallery Exhibition 2014–2015, from March 21 to May 11, 2014. Excerpt: “The biggest difference between men and animals is said to be the use of ‘clothing.’ “Wearing clothes’ or ‘being clad in fashionable attire’ is an essential theme for human existence, which constantly reminds us of our own bodies as well. From this important point of view, we organized the special exhibition entitled ‘Visions of the Body: Fashion or Invisible Corset’ in 1999, which was also co-organiszed with the Kyoto Costume Institute like as the exhibition ‘Future Beauty.’ Some of the works from this former exhibition are being displayed in this current collection gallery exhibition, such as works by Antonella Piemontese in the Craft section, and works by Pipilotti Rist and Lucy Orta in the Contemporary Art section. Piemontese’s works and Orta’s works critically question the direct relationship between clothes and the body. Rist’s works poetically question the relationship of one’s own body and life with medical settings such as childbirth and endoscopic examinations. It would be greatly appreciated if these works could set the stage for our audiences to reconsider both the significance and the questions which lie at the foundations of the concept known as ‘fashion’” (The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto).
