"The Echo" Exhibition

Zaim

Finished

Artists

Satoru Aoyama, Futo Akiyoshi, Akihiko Amano, Takaaki Izumi, Taro Izumi et al.

Through encounters with young art lovers, talk events and discussions, this exhibition aims to explore the relationships and mutual sympathies between a new generation of young Japanese artists whose debut onto the contemporary art scene dates from post-2000; a new Japanese art whose character and modes of expression are as yet unfixed.
Various talks and presentations will be held over the duration of the exhibition, providing opportunities to consider the role of this new contemporary art in society and the various problems problems relating to this emerging art that are acutely felt by members of this generation. Using the city of Yokohama itself as a platform - ZAIM, Koganecho, Kotobukicho, as well as the venues that are hosting the Yokohama Triennale - It is hoped that dialogue will be stimulated about the function of art in society and its relevance to the average person as well as the younger generation.
In addition, "The Six" exhibition, which support artists from the next generation (taking over from the ones represented at this exhibition), and which was previously held for the first time from November 30th to December 2nd 2007, will be held again this year. Artists from "The Echo" will act as jury members for this show.
