Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo
Finished
SHARE
Gardens are things that evince the various relationships between nature and humans.
This exhibition explores the notion of the garden in modern and contemporary art, taking the light-filled third floor exhibition space to be an rooftop garden of sorts. Whether idealized as a sort of lost paradise in our memories, or captured as a record of nature's myriad phenomena, or even a kind of ludic space freed from the orderly strictures of the conventional world, artists have interpreted and recast this age-old trope in a stunningly varied number of ways. Showcasing their works in 10 different sections, each artist in this exhibition will approach such "cut-off pieces of nature from the land" through their own unique ways.
