「Asyl」は、「聖域」「自由領域」「避難所」「無縁所」と意味づけられている。また、保護の必要な人（＝犯罪者や負債者、奴隷など）が逃げ込む聖地や寺を指すことがあったというが、法の整備によって失われたといわれている。本展は、宗教性を帯びた時空間を指向するのではなく、ここに集う人々の想像と対話のうちに、新たな余白をつくりだしていくことを試みる。

Generally speaking, an "asylum" is called a "sanctuary," a "free area," a "refuge," or a "no-frills place. Other times, it was said to refer to a sacred place or temple where people in need of protection (i.e., criminals, debtors, slaves, etc.) would flee to, but it is said to have been lost with the establishment of the law. In this exhibition, we will be looking at forms that have taken on a religious character and in the self, it finds a firmness and opens up possibilities in the imagination.
