Eudaemonia
24 Aug–22 Sep 2024
From August 24 to September 22, 2024, Gallery Common is pleased to present “Eudaemonia,” a group exhibition of twelve upcoming Japanese artists: Souya Handa, Yuuka Ishii, Chiaki Kainuma, Taro Maruyama, Rika Minamitani, Tomohiro Muramatsu, Satoshi Okano, Tomu Osaki, Gorilla Park, Hinako Suda, Hiro Tsuchiya, and Ryota Watanabe.
Reflecting the increasingly bizarre nature of our current times with wit and eccentricity, these diverse artists congregate for the first time to continue the age-old quest for human purpose and fulfillment.
Eudaemonia is the Greek term for the Aristotelian concept of “the good life”: the process of realizing one’s true nature by living a life guided by virtue and reason. The idea emphasizes that one should live in a way that is most suited to one’s unique skills in order to achieve well-being, fulfillment, and happiness.
