This catalogue is published to accompany Ando Ryuichiro's solo exhibition 'Shintai 0 Base Unyoho: 0 Gym', held at Kyoto City University of Arts Art Gallery @KCUA, Japan in 2017. 

'"Shintai 0 Base Unyoho" is textile artist and Kyoto City University of Arts instructor Ryuichiro Ando's unique methodology for bodily movement based on the perspective of creating artworks and other objects. In September and October 2017, Ando and @KCUA presented the "0 Gym", where visitors were able to experience physical training based on Ando's philosophy. Additionally, Ando worked with five artists (Nae Imai, Ayako Mano, Masato Mizutani, Taizo Mori and Minori Sumiyoshiyama) over the course of several months as a Personal Training Program, specially formulated for each artist. The gym was accompanied by a presentation of how these artists' bodily movements in their process of creation were changed as a result of their participation.' -excerpts from introduction
