TAB Event - Tomoyasu Murata "My Dream is Crouching"

Tomoyasu Murata "My Dream is Crouching"

This event has ended.
At Hiratsuka Museum of Art
Media: Installation, Other, Art Talk

Tomoyasu Murata (1974-) received the grand prize at the Japan Media Art Festival, with a stop-motion animation work he made while still a student at the Tokyo National University of Fine Art & Music. Since then, he has won a number of awards at various animation festivals. In recent years, his animation has been used for the band Mr. Children's promotional videos. His style also extends past stop-motion to more original, elaborate realms.
This exhibition is filled with scenes reminiscent of Murata's nostalgic world, presenting his animations in the context of the good old days of bygone Japan. A sculptural work made out of an antique jukebox shows an animation of 100 beautiful views of Minohako Peninsula, and a space where visitors can play with games that used to be popular in the old days will be set up as part of this exhibition.
At the Screening Hall on the first floor, Murata's new animation entitled "Lemon Road," from his "Road" series, as well as his other animations will be screened.
