The Group 1965
Showa Yonju-nen-kai, or "The Group 1965" is an artist group whose members were all born in 1965 (Showa 40). Team leader Hiroyuki Matsukage, and members Makoto Aida, Sumihisa Arima, Oscar Oiwa, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, and Parco Kinoshita are all turning 43 this year.
It is a bit too early to say that it is time for them to wrap up and look back on the past, but one could assume that it is about the time when their visual art and music, as well as ideas and feelings should all naturally come together.
The city of Tokyo, which these artists often have a love/hate relationship with, appears endlessly in their work. The scenery of Tokyo, including people, things, environments, and scenes that one sees while taking a walk, or that one takes a glimpse of in between job meetings, are a source of their inspirations.
This Tokyo Guide, which is uniquely different from each of their own individual works, reflects sentiments of these relaxed, matured men. Fragments of thoughts that randomly appear in their minds are depicted in each of these artists' writings and depictions which deal with a specific place and incident taking place in Tokyo.
Commemorating the publication of the compilation of writings that these artists produced one by one in past three years, this exhibition presents original posters that represent six variations of Tokyo Guide. These posters are available in editions. The book is available at Nadiff bookstore, and the exhibition is on view on the basement level.
