Playback Artist Talk
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
Since 2005 The Museum of Modern Art has regularly held an artist talk series in which artists are invited to discuss their work before that held in the museum collection. To date 30 such events have been held, with the intention of providing an entry point to greater understanding of contemporary art, with each artist presenting clearly the developments in their practice and providing unique and valuable insights into their work. It may even be said that the video documentation of these talks may become, if seen from a long term perspective, a historic resource. This exhibition gathers together 40 works of the artists who have participated in this event alongside the recorded video of their presentations. All of the artists appearing in this program began to present their work at the end of 1970’s into the 1980’s, a challenging period after minimal art and conceptual art had rigorously questioned the existing structures of art practice. Moving from an era in which expression had to be stripped to its limit and the very fundamentals of looking and making were revised, the artists who join this exhibition were confronted with the dilemma of how to restore the rich possibilities of painting. The result of this pursuit may be observed in their work and through their very own words as spoken in these artist talks.
