Makoto Aida
Makoto Aida ranks among the most closely followed contemporary artists in Japan today. Since his debut in the early 1990s, Makoto Aida has brought a cynical perspective to such subject matter as pretty young girls, war, and salarymen, touching upon modern and contemporary Japanese society in a stream of striking works. Bringing together over 100 works ranging from early pieces to his very latest work, this exhibition, the first in the world on such a scale, illuminates every aspect of Aida’s practice to date.
In a series of public programs to be held in conjunction with the exhibition, we home in on essentially what makes Makoto Aida a genius, scrutinized from diverse Japanese and international perspectives. In doing so we further hope that now, at a time when we are questioning anew the form and direction Japan should be taking, Aida’s complex, multifaceted world - Japanese society in miniature - will serve as a medium through which a variety of discussions will arise.
