Future Theater
(Higashi 1-chome Theater)

SIAF will take over the Higashi 1-chome Theater (formerly Hokkaido Shiki Theater), turning it into an enormous exhibition space called the “Future Theater” where you can look 100 years into the future.

Located at the heart of SIAF2024, the Future Theater will serve as a community that inspires visitors to think about the future 100 years ahead. It will also be a showcase of new works created under the theme of Last Snow and works that will be exhibited for the first time in Japan.
Curator: HOSOKAWA Asami (SIAF Manager)

Address Odori Higashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo

Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art

The word “Fragile,” meaning “handle with care,” is printed on boxes containing artworks shipped from overseas to alert shippers and curators to handle them with care. Fragile objects in such boxes are breakable but manageable with care. They will certainly amaze those who open the boxes with something new. By linking the risks and hopes associated with fragile objects with the theme of Last Snow, the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art will feature exhibits focusing on the century from 1924 to 2024.
Curator: NAKAMURA Seiji (Vice-director, Curator, Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art)

Address Kita 1-jo Nishi 17chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo
