  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition first leads visitors through works depicting escalators with glittering metal and glass. Then in contrast they see paintings of old stone stairs in a museum. Various artificial and natural lighting, textures and atmosphere of space and location meticulously created on canvas let viewers have the feeling as if they are inside the work. This feels like an experience of a short walk in a city.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Nineteenth century French painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was influenced by Gauguin and created a new style of painting through beautiful coloring and simple forms. He is well known for his religious works but, on the other hand, the other works he painted based on everyday life, especially those depicting his own children and family, also hold an important position within his art.

This exhibition looks at these paintings themed around children and the family, drawing on domestic and international museums, as well as the collections of individuals, to present around 100 paintings, sketches and photographs.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[First retrospective of Tomoyoshi Murayama (1901-1977), whose avant-garde activities influenced Japanese modern art in the 1920-30s. After coming back from Berlin in 1923, Murayama joined the group &quot;Mavo&quot;. He is well-known for works featuring collage figures and dance performances, as well as stage designs and illustrations for children books. The exhibition surveys not only those rare works that Murayama made by himself, but also works by Kandinsky and Klee, those who influenced Murayama during his stay in Berlin, and other colleages, such as Tomoo Wadachi and Yoshimitsu Nagano.

  <Description><![CDATA[Open Space includes a gallery, a mini-theater, and ICC video archive &quot;HIVE.&quot; Since its inauguration in 2006, the space has been open to the public free of charge, presenting new exhibitions annually.

In addition to exhibiting media art by prominent local and overseas artists and newcomers—and other ongoing projects—the space incorporates a themed exhibit area in which the changing relationship between media, arts and society is documented. By displaying artist’s works and also providing explanations of their social, cultural, and ideological background through artist interviews and other material, the Open Space aims to introduce the bond between “media technology and artistic culture” in a simple and easy-to-understand way, constituting a pillar of ICC activities. It also serves as a place where the possibility of a new communication culture based on artistic expression using advanced technology can be demonstrated.

2011's exhibition looks at the theme of the art and communication technology over the last fifty years.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ken Lum, born in 1956, is an internationally active artist based in Vancouver. His work approaches everyday social structures with a critical eye and an ironic sense of humor, traversing a wide variety of media that includes photography, sculpture, painting and installation.

Lum’s art is concerned with the ways in which identity formation intersects with society’s transformation. This focus is deeply connected to his birth to Chinese immigrant parents in Vancouver, a city of numerous ethnic groups. In his works which use the visual language of public signage, billboards, logos and the mass media, he aims to demystify the tensions and contradictions of living in an increasingly globalizing world. His chosen approach continues to question the very nature of culture in contemporary society, by dismantling pleasant phrasings and blurring the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

Five representative works produced since 2000 will be presented.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Exactly fifty years ago in 1962, which marked the 10th anniversary of the opening of our Museum, the first exhibition introducing the Ishibashi Collection abroad (La Peinture française de Corot à Braque dans la Collection Ishibashi de Tokyo) took place at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris. It was realized thanks to a proposal made by Bernard Dorival, who was then assistant director of the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris and also who had long esteemed the Ishibashi Collection. This exhibition was the talk of the town and evoked a great response, and at the same time, the existence of the collector Shojiro Ishibashi, who formed the basis of the collection, attracted the attention and surprise of the French media. As a result, the Ishibashi Collection gained wide recognition. This exhibition might be considered to be one of the starting points of our ever-growing Museum collection. It is introduced here, together with references dating from those days.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Junzo Ishiko (1928-77) was an art critic whose gaze extended beyond the purview of fine art to cover manga, theater, stage arts, popular entertainment, and various other odds and ends of the cultural spectrum. This exhibition is an attempt to cast new light on Japanese art of the 1960s and 70s through Ishiko's eyes.

Looking at the history of Japanese film posters, however, a number of artistic ambitions can be found beyond this anonymity. Via posters created by various artists such as Kono Takashi, Hisamitsu Noguchi, Kiyoshi Awazu, Tadanori Yokoo, Makoto Wada this exhibition will seek crossover points between cinema and the graphic arts.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition spotlights the work of seven contemporary artists who burn with a passion for drawing and for representing all kinds of physical phenomena as well as the spiritual world that surrounds us by using their own eyes and hands and, moreover, with reference to the works mainly from our own collection, it makes an attempt to approach hidden relationships between abstraction and form in the visual arts. Tomoo Gokita makes a strong impression on those who view his works through his human figures drawn in monochrome. Anders Edstrom, a photographer from Sweden, is trying to capture things that are invisible to eye. In the paintings of Jun Tsunoda, soft colours and delicate forms melt on the picture surface. Shingo Francis seeks the essence of light on a calm and profound colour plane. Niro Nozawa dynamically draws various scenes reflected on the surface of water. Yuji Akatsuka recalls within the picture space the imagined scenery of his distant memories. And Tamihito Yoshikawa seeks out colour forms in the texture of his solid oil painting.

In concert with the artists mentioned above, the exhibition also features works by older artists who influenced them to a certain extent, including Monet, Picasso, Braque, Morandi, Sam Francis and Cy Twombly. Although each of these artists belongs to a different culture and era, we would be gratified if the viewer is able to grasp an essential theme of modern art that has been inherited by each of these individual works, namely, &quot;how the essence of the object can be represented,&quot; through the interaction with the exhibited works.

Largely passed over in England, these practical, everyday items were prized by Mingei founder Muneyoshi Yanagi for their unique beauty. This exhibition showcases a diverse selection of some 150 Western craft pieces from the museum collection, including ceramics, woodwork and painting.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[At a time when the Impressionists were concerned with how to portray landscapes and physical states of the outside world, the symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916) instead turned inwards to explore the infinite possibilities presented by his dreams. This exhibition offers viewers an overview of Redon’s fantastical visions through a selection of 130 works that also include pieces by artists who were profoundly influenced by him, such as Maurice Denis and Emile Bernard.

A particular highlight is the first public viewing of “Grand Bouquet”, his largest pastel painting that was recently acquired from an old chateau in France.

  <Description><![CDATA[This is Fuyuko Matsui's first large-scale solo show at a public art museum. Her work was previously included in a group exhibition of nihonga painters at this museum in 2006.

Matsui was born in Morimachi, Shizuoka prefecture in 1974 and studied nihonga painting at the Tokyo University of the Arts. Her graduation work took the notion of psychological and physical pain as its starting point, and her subsequent works have centered on provocative themes such as terror, madness, narcissism, sex, birth and death.

On display will be a selection of her most representative works, drafts and rough sketches, including some 80 new pieces created expressly for this exhibition. There will also be screenings of videos and films that represent Matsui's first attempt at art direction.

  <Description><![CDATA[Recognized for his artistic talents at a young age, Hiroji Noda (born in 1952) became the youngest artist to hold a solo exhibition at Minami Gallery in 1977, the year after he had graduated from Tama Art University. In the Eighties, however, NODA embarked on a variety of explorations in an effort to discover new possibilities in painting. In this exhibition, we survey the artist’s over 30-year career with 140 works that have emerged from his continually evolving approach, and examine the effect that NODA’s experiments have had on the Japanese art scene.

Noda's exploration of the essence of painting began with box-shaped forms that were in effect a kind of relief. The artist continued to develop this approach in the mid-Eighties, creating a unique painting style in which he covered the support medium with a sack-like fabric. Then in the Nineties, Noda added further depth to his work by sewing, folding back, and layered the canvas. But around 2000, he gradually turned to a flat foundation, and transformed the picture plane with the freewheeling depiction of unusual images. Finally, in recent years, Noda has created series based on specific themes, and focused on combinations of works while also placing greater emphasis on the manner in which they are displayed.

Noda has remained actively engaged in showing his work, but there has rarely been an opportunity to survey his entire career, from the early period to the present. We hope that this exhibition will provide greater insight into how Noda has developed his artistic philosophy as well as shedding light on how his ideas are transformed into actual works. And in addition to tracing the trajectory of this outstanding artist’s career, we hope to encourage reflection on future directions in painting.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[James Welling was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1951. He studied sculpture at Carnegie Mellon University and later graduated from California Institute of the Arts, where he worked mainly with video. He relocated to New York in 1978, where he started his photographic projects, and again to California in 1995. Today, his subject matters and methods are wide, ranging from documentary subjects stemming from his personal interests and history (his great-great-grandmother’s diary, lace factories, landscapes of Connecticut, architectural structures) to everyday objects such as aluminum, drapery, gelatin, and flowers that have been arranged abstractly. Employing both analog and digital methods, he pursues the photographic medium in its entirety.

This exhibition will include Welling’s new project capturing the landscapes of Cushing, Maine and Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania that surrounded the home and studio of Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) and were much of the subject matter of the American realist painter’s works. Welling, an ardent fan of Wyeth particularly in his formative years, visited the two northeastern towns to photograph what remained of the painter’s environs.

&quot;When you go to Wyeth’s places, an unsettling phenomenon occurs. You see the paintings before you in pieces, fragmented, with more things Wyeth removed and reordered in painting. But the place is distinct and still the same place in the painting.&quot;

Welling’s photographs convey precisely the distance and the closeness revealed through this phenomenon that occurs in the lapse of time and location.

  <Description><![CDATA[Mana Konishi’s landscapes and portraits are painted with graciously unconstrained and sensual brushstrokes, as well as a unique sense of color. Her painting distances itself from viewers with its creation of a serene and unreal world of uncertainty.

In creating her works, Konishi first selects photographs from numerous snapshots for motifs and layouts. These photographs serve to give a general sense of what to draw, and are merely a starting point for her creative expression. Her interest is not to paint these scenes and figures realistically, but rather to fill them with unique stories, creating a seemingly illusory world for her paintings.

Rather than images that would give a clear view of the finished painting, selected photographs are nondescript. Konishi chooses photographs that feel oddly incomplete, and imagines new stories for them. Moving her brush stimulates more thoroughly the artist’s subconscious world of imagery, and paintings become visualized through this process.

In this exhibition, Konishi presents portraits featuring her son, Alex. She has been working with portraits in recent years, and it has been three years since &quot;Portraits&quot;, herlast solo show in 2009.

  <Description><![CDATA[Hiroji Noda was born in Wakayama in 1952 and graduated from Tama Art University in 1976. His first solo show came after being discovered by Minami Gallery's Kusuo Shimizu. Since then, he has been exhibiting works that consistently explore the relationship between painting and its supports. This is Noda's first retrospective in Tokyo, showcasing box-shaped reliefs from the early 80s onwards and other similar works wrapped in bags and canvas.

  <Description><![CDATA[Among the 30 or so works by Vermeer that still survive today, it is his paintings of letters, with their evocation of quiet drama in the midst of daily life, that occupy an important place in his oeuvre. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to view three of these masterpieces gathered in one place: &quot;Woman in Blue Reading a Letter&quot;, &quot;A Lady Writing&quot;, and &quot;A Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid&quot;. These works will be displayed alongside other stellar paintings from the same period that highlight the distinctive gestures, facial expressions and emotional shifts that characterize 17th century Dutch society.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Yumeji Takehisa was a well-known “Taisho Romantic” painter and poet. In 1914, a shop focusing on paper crafts, stationery and daily goods designed by Takehisa called Minato-ya opened in Nihombashi, becoming an influential tastemaker in the field of design. This exhibition looks back on the early days of Takehisa’s career as a painter, introducing viewers to the social customs and culture of the Taisho era (1912-1926).

  <Description><![CDATA[Fumio Nambata (1941-1974) produced a large number of wonderful works notable for their delicate lines and coloring. His watercolors, drawings, and his vivid life left a firm impression on postwar art in Japan. Fumio was the second son of Tatsuoki Nambata, one of the pioneers of abstract painting in Japan, and displayed an exceptional natural talent as a young man. Driven by a love for literature and music, he worked on his own, seeking an original approach for his art. Through self-introspection and sincerely facing up to the realities of contemporary society, Fumio created works mainly on paper that freshly convey his characteristically delicate, but at the same time lucid sensitivity. Although his productive period spanned only a little over 10 years, he created a startling number of works. His general reputation is of a painter of themes from youth, but artistically, his skills were already sufficiently advanced and developed, surpassing simple maturity to come full circle and acquire a great variety and richness. 

This exhibition is planned to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Fumio's birth. It includes a careful selection of his works from the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery's Terada Collection, and also presents many of his best and most well known works from other collections. These are complemented by the artist's diaries, sketchbooks, photographs, and other items to give a multi-faceted introduction of Fumio Nambata.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Takeshi Kitamura (b. 1935) is designated a Living National Treasure or a holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property for his mastery over the techniques called ra and nishiki (brocade). Equating the formation of textile with expression, Kitamura has used the intricately intertwining warp within the thickness of about one millimeter to produce cloth that impresses us with its quiet movement and depth. This show introduces Kitamura’s works spanning his entire career to lead the viewers into a world of woven structure with rich contrast.

  <Description><![CDATA[Born in Tatebayashi in Gunma Prefecture, Yoshio Fujimaki (1911-1935?) suddenly went missing at the age of twenty-four, leaving artworks that cast a striking splendor on the world of sosaku hanga (creative prints) in Japan. Focusing mainly on the districts of Ueno and Asakusa, Fujimaki depicted landscapes of Tokyo in the 1930s, a decade after the Great Kanto Earthquake. This exhibition surveys 200 works including woodcut prints, drawings, Hakubyo-emaki (plain-drawing scrolls), and related materials from his life. Animated images of Hakubyo-emaki are projected throughout the exhibition to reveal the scenes described in the scrolls.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition focuses on Noh masks and costumes, drawn from the museum’s collections, and considers the “profound and subtle beauty” of this uniquely Japanese art form. The Okina and Jyô masks, with their personification of deities, the vengeful god seen in demon masks, the ghostly realm seen in masks representing departed spirits, and the dreamlike world of masks of men and women, young and old, are some of the masks that inhabit the fantastic world of Noh. This exhibition features 54 masks from the Important Cultural Property ex-Kongô Family collection of Noh masks, along with Noh costumes, instruments and song books from the Mitsui families.

Also, the master Noh mask carver Mr. Hashioka Kazumichi has graciously presented eight Noh masks and 100 volumes of Noh song book (Genna-uzuki-bon) to the museum. These precious works have been on deposit at the museum since 1991, and with the expectation of their being presented to the museum upon the occasion of this exhibition, we expedited the donation process to coincide with this event. The Hashioka donation includes masks not in the Mitsui collection, such as Fukai and Chichi-no-jyô, and thus will further develop the range of the museum’s Noh mask collection. This exhibition marks the debut showing of the Hashioka works, bringing the exhibition total to approximately 100 works.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Japan of the French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Reconstructed within the unique space of the Hara Museum, formerly a private residence, is the artist's retrospective exhibition that was first launched at the Centre Pompidou in Paris where it proved to be one of the most popular shows in the history of the museum.

As one of France's most prominent contemporary artists, Jean-Michel Othoniel is known for his large-scale glass sculptures, such as the sculptural piece Le Kiosque des Noctambules (2000) which adorns the entrance of the Palais-Royal–Musée du Louvre metro station in the center of Paris. He has also held exhibitions at major museums around the world. In Japan, the artist installed a large outdoor sculpture entitled Kokoro (2009) at Hara Museum ARC, the Hara Museum's annex in Shibukawa, Gunma prefecture. This permanent installation, a unique heart-shaped work made of red-colored glass globes, now provides a warm welcome to every visitor to the museum.

The present exhibition showcases works spanning 25 years of the artist's career. Numbering some 60 pieces, they range from early works made with sulfur and beeswax to his most recent large-scale sculptures made with colorful Murano glass from Italy. The title of the exhibition is taken from the song made famous by Frank Sinatra, My Way, which is symbolic of a unique vision unswayed by popular trends.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The activities of the French Impressionists were over after roughly the decade of 1870 to 1880. But Monet and Renoir kept producing work for a long time after that. It is little known that their work and development was much praised even into the twentieth century by such avant-garde painters as Bonnard, Matisse and Picasso. This exhibition explores through around 60 artworks the post-Impressionist work of Monet and Renoir, the work of twentieth century artists who came after, and the direction of Impressionism.

  <Description><![CDATA[One of Japan’s leading contemporary sculptors, Shigeo Toya uses a chainsaw to carve and chisel away at this material before coating it with ash. The resultant sculptures, riddled with pleats, protrusions and cavities, evoke a palpable tension in the viewer. This exhibition showcases some of his recent works set against the striking underground and overground spaces of the museum.

  <Description><![CDATA[The situation of Japan changed drastically on 11th March 2011. Several problems existing in this country since a long time ago have again been put into question by a natural disaster multiplied by human mistakes in the Tohoku district. We now realize our deep responsibility to the happiness in our own lives and we need to understand more the real situation we are faced with.

This project hopes to remind us of the present Tokyo situation by revealing its beauty, potential, value, charms, uniqueness and also problems. Features 100 photographer's &quot;Tokyo Scapes&quot;, the exhibition presenting a &quot;grand picture&quot; of the city of Tokyo.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Immediately after World War II, Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) altered the concept of painting significantly by means of an original style and technique in which he sprinkled paint all over a canvas spread on the floor. The art he produced during his brief 44-year long lifetime enabled him to become the first American artist to win truly international fame and today he is recognized all over the world as a cultural hero of the United States.

Although Pollock has also been highly acclaimed in Japan, exhibitions fully covering his work have not yet been held here. This exhibition is held in commemoration of the centennial of Pollock’s birth.

Comprised of works dating from his art student years, the acme during which he established his fame, and the later years when he was tormented by the decline in his creative ability, it is the first major exhibition to be held in Japan tracing the great marks he left on the art world.

There are works from foreign collections, including major works belonging to the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Iran and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Together with all the works by Pollock that are currently known to be housed in Japan, approximately seventy exhibits will be gathered under one roof.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Tokyo Gallery + BTAP is pleased to present an exhibition by the wood sculptor Mitsukuni Takimoto entitled “What is to carve, what is to be carved”. This is Takimoto’s second solo show with the gallery, showcasing a selection of pieces that include sculptures from his Water and Cloud series, which he has been working on since the late 1990s, as well as a number of his most recent works.

At a time when the term “contemporary art” has become commonplace, the name of Takimoto’s occupation – wood sculptor – seems to have a somewhat nostalgic ring to it. Although contemporary art tends to emphasize the concept behind the work, wood sculpture privileges material and technique above all else. Techniques that the body of the artist has acquired and absorbed sculpt the wood, bestowing form on it. Out of this, a shape emerges, conveying the entirety of this process to the viewer. Why, then, do we feel a certain nostalgia when we experience this sequence of events?

During a previous solo exhibition held in 2002, Takimoto said of his work: 

This work called “Waterfall”, in which I attempt to depict water by carving a block of wood, has absolutely no reality to it. The act of creating a waterfall consists in straying from its actual form. When I make a “waterfall”, what I am really doing is recreating the atmosphere that surrounds it – or at least trying to do so. It’s the same with how I go about making my sculptures. The first step is to create the part that represents the sky. In a certain sense, once that first component is in place, I can start by creating a form out of nothingness...

All art finally attains some form or other as the result of a creative act. Surrounded by countless things that we simply overlook or pass over, however, we tend to forget that the form of an object derives from an act of creation.

To put it another way, our modern information-oriented society allows us to come into contact with an entire panoply of cultural idioms and expressions, whether in the realm of fine art or otherwise: both old and new, from every single culture that has ever existed all over the world, in a form that is instantly obvious and readily comprehensible. This state of affairs, however, also means that we can no longer return to a time when artistic creation was guided by the act and process of form-making. The medium that Takimoto has chosen to devote his artistic career to has long been associated with divine spirits, deities and Buddhist iconography in the context of Japanese history. In Japan, the materials that have been cultivated and nurtured by the country’s natural, vernacular environment and history have always been inseparably tied to the artists and craftsmen who draw on these materials for their work.

What does it mean to sculpt, to create something out of nothing? What materials should the sculptor use? Which tools and techniques should he turn to in order to impart a shape and form to his creations?
As varieties of artistic expression continue to multiply, the processes related to the act of actually making something are neglected, yielding works that have lost their “feel” and sense of texture. This, then, is perhaps what remains to be done in our age – to discover how we can recover a certain sacred or divine texture that used to be embodied by the shape and form of an artwork.

  <Description><![CDATA[Tatsuo Majima (b. 1970, Japan)'s works are based on his peculiar interest in fusion and collision between cultural differences among modern ages. Using various media such as texts, photographs, videos and performances, Majima creates his works with unique taste of humour.

This time, Majima presents the series of movie posters all starring Tom Cruise, an icon of the Hollywood movie culture since the 80's.

The poster evokes us of three aspects - Cruise as Hollwood icon, the image of typical hero and Cruise as real person in himself. However, at the same time, it suggests to us that no one could get hold of his real identity from here. This is Majima's examination into the impossibility of portraiture; questioning where personal/national identity exists.

The work was first exhibited in 1999. This exhibition will be the sequel to that former exhibition, constructing an  installation of Tom Cruise posters since 2000.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[G-tokyo, a singular art fair, presents a select group of established, Tokyo-based galleries, each acknowledged internationally as being at the forefront of contemporary art. Exhibited works are created especially for presentation at G-tokyo; booths consist of solo exhibitions along with thoughtfully curated group shows.

Rather than expand in size, in deference to the exclusive presentation of the highest quality works of contemporary art, G-tokyo has continued to deliberately limit the number of exhibiting galleries and is anticipating this, the fair's third year, to be the most exciting and refined to date.

Special feature: G-tokyo / α Exhibition
The acquisition of art is the quintessential art fair experience. The G-tokyo /α Exhibition has been designed to help a wider audience enjoy the pleasure of purchasing art and the joy of owning it, and thus will feature works available at an accessible price and size with a focus on new pieces  by emerging artists selected by top galleries; some of the brightest stars of today’s contemporary art scene.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[POSTALCO is the name of a design studio originally opened by Mike and Yuri Abelson in Brooklyn, New York, in 2000. It is also the brand name of their various lineups of highly practical products, most notably bags and stationery items. For this exhibition coming just over a decade since the pair shifted their base to Tokyo, Mike created a new kind of printer. He calls it a “Wheel Printer,” and the inspiration that led him to its invention was Mike’s wondering about what would happen if ink was applied to the wheels of a car or bicycle. What tracks would they leave? And if they all came together at a street intersection, just imagine the complex patterns. And so Mike set to creating a printer made with wheels. Structurally, what he devised is a configuration of different wheels attached in rows. Each wheel is inked and when a notebook or sheet of paper passes through, the wheels leave colored ink patterns. So just what patterns does it produce? Stripes? Diagonal lines? Triangles? Or maybe it prints some unintentional plaid patterns?

232nd Creative Salon
January 27 (Fri), 2012 7:10 p.m. – 8:40 p.m.
Participants: Mike and Yuri Abelson
Admission free. Reservations required. (TEL: 03-6835-2260)

Printing Demonstration:
January 17 (Tue) and February 4 (Sat), 2012
Details will be announced on the venue website.
POSTALCO’s newly invented Wheel Printer will be on display in the gallery, and Mike will be on hand to demonstrate how it actually works. The items created using the Wheel Printer, as well as POSTALCO’s other products, will also be on exhibit and available for purchase.

POSTALCO products are admired and widely sought out by people who appreciate how they came about and the way they revert to what is basic and familiar to us. We are confident that visitors will be attracted to POSTALCO’s creative style and philosophy.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[TPAM is an international platform for performing arts.

It is a place for “Meeting” consisting of a discussion/presentation section for the improvement and development of activities in the performing arts sector through networking professionals and a performance section for discovering and introducing works that are responsive to the contemporary reality. 

It has almost been a year since the 3/11. The disaster of the earthquake and tsunamis and the accident of the nuclear power plant have been undermining the condition of survival and the structure of society. TPAM in Yokohama 2012 tries to be a response to the situation in the belief that performing arts relate deeply to the fundamentals.

Please see the event website for further details of performances, showcases, talk events and the industry booth fair.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Based in Singapore, Ho Tzu Nyen presents his works throughout the world—in Hong Kong, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, and more—and he has gained prominence at numerous international Biennale and international film festivals. Ho participated in the 2011 Venice Biennale as a representative of Singapore, exhibiting his new work &quot;The Cloud of Unknowing&quot; (2011 - 2012), which was the talk of the town.

Ho reveals the imaginary that lies dormant as shared memory in historical fact and reality. His expression spans myriad planes, working mainly with video in installations, theatre, participatory projects, improvisational collaboration with musicians, and more. Ho has recently been exploring the relationship between image and sound in particular, and by exhibiting &quot;The Cloud of Unknowing&quot; anew as a four-channel video sound installation at this first solo exhibition in Japan, he aims to have the audience experience changes of space in the story caused by synergies of the video and sound. His &quot;Bohemian Rhapsody&quot; (2006), and &quot;Newton&quot; (2009) are also exhibited. His poetic and theatrical world presents the lessons and philosophy comprised by history and legends, and it offers the opportunity to consider what reality is.

  <Description><![CDATA[With its original style of using delicate incense stick flames, Ichikawa’s work has been described as “Incense Sticks Painting, significantly redirecting the contemporary paintings into a completely different direction”. His work retraces  his own memories and invites us into experiences with its extremely fragile tension. Thirty-five new works will be presented in this exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Mineki Murata was born in Gunma in 1979 and graduated from Tama Art University in 2005. Since then he has been giving unique performances at various exhibitions and events throughout Japan, including the inaugural Aichi Triennale in 2010. Using his own body as a medium, Murata's performances consist of actions repeated again and again in relation to other objects. Previous performances involved making ballpoint drawings on dictionaries and photocopying paper, or using crayons to scrawl over a white dress shirt that he was wearing. 

For this exhibition, Murata will give performance every day throughout the duration of the exhibition. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ken Matsubara dissolves our sleeping memories just like they are frozen at the bottom of our hearts in his works made of antique objects, photographs and movies which are imprinted with people's memories. He thinks that memories are inherited from human to human through the DNA of microorganisms and that people can reach those common memories that cross over the world's various races and generations if we can awaken our own memories. Human beings are tied together by common memories and we will cross over those boundaries by sharing our memories.

&quot;Mekong Delta&quot;
The movie for this work was shot at the Mekong River delta in Vietnam. 5 children are floating in the muddy river just like they are rising up to heaven. They are visible through an original, specially crafted, translucent mirror, a glass dome. This work is dedicated to and mourns for the death of children in the many wars and disasters around the world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This will be the first major Tokyo retrospective exhibition of the work of Atsuko Tanaka (1932-2005), who has recently attracted increased attention for the role she played as one of the foremost female members of the postwar avant-garde artist group, the Gutai Art Association. Exhibits will include ‘Work (Bell)’ (1955), in which sound races around the exhibition space, the ‘Electric Dress’ (1956) that she wore for several performances, and numerous paintings, collages and video records, presenting an overview of the pioneering activities of this artist who combined performance with the plastic arts over a period of fifty years.

See website for more details on related talks, screenings, and performances.

  <Description><![CDATA[Her career started with photograph, drawing along with the extensional experiential installation based on the viewpoint from underneath of one's feet bottom. After receiving increased recognition in Japan, she moved to New York and her work undertook a major change with the application of a top-down view. Having created new work composed of some 300 photographs taken from a high altitude, she has since  participated in exhibitions at museums such as Sezon Museum of Modern Art and the National Art Center, Tokyo.

Yasuda has consistently picked out the narrow space on the top story of skyscrapers in metropolis all over the world as the standpoint for her own. While her work somewhat induces the fear of falling, they also give us the happiness of soaring high into the open sky. By presenting foremost conflicting emotions and feelings, Yasuda mildly sways us emotionally in an unquiet way. Although viewpoint in her works has been completely reversed, she has continually attempted to re-create the images according to her body and memories based on what her eyes catch in the real world. 

Her basic approach stays constant. However, the new works for this exhibition show us a new horizon applying a 360-degree view around herself. The sense of distance in each scenery is presented as her physical map. The images she creates are somewhat reminiscence Japanese paintings from the middle of the Edo period, in the respect that they are not only painted simply in perspective but acting up to the memories and the actual feeling of painters.

As the title “Aerial” implies, an overhead view in the new works is brought to the fore, revealing the inwardness of the artist.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[From the start, each year the Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions has posed the question, “What is an image?” and chosen a theme that suggests an answer to this question. It was, however, no easy task to think about an appropriate theme or envision the shape that this year’s festival might take less than a year since Japan was shaken to its roots by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region in northeast Japan. Confronted with images of such overwhelming power, images that exposed the fragility of the foundations on which images are built, it came to us at last that there was really only one choice, to make our theme the physicality of images. In retrospect it seems so obvious, in times like these we had to start over again with this most simple and basic of questions. It would, at the same time direct our eyes once again to the complex and diverse possibilities inherent in images.

The theme of the fourth Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions is, then, “How Physical”. To illuminate the physicality of images, we begin with their practical aspect, then, through the works we present, press on into the riches and depth that images offer. Before we raise questions about the themes and cultural significance of images, asking what images show us or why these particular images were taken, we turn first to the technologies, the skills, the tools, the activities, the means of distribution that make images possible. At the same time, we recognize the presence in images of times and spaces that only exist as images and the power of images to affect us viscerally. Our aim is to savor deeply forms of creative expression in which the distinctive physicality of images is brought to life. We also see this as an opportunity to reconsider the issues of the day not abstractly, but concretely by considering the physical processes, equipment, technologies and economic environment in which images are captured, preserved and passed down to us.

The Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions takes full advantage of the space in which it is held to provide an opportunity for those who create, connect, and receive images to come together to enjoy the works on display and examine from many angles the physical aspects of images past and present. We hope that it becomes for everyone involved a comprehensive and future-oriented celebration of the “physical making” involved in imaging and visual creative expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[In the early 1990s, commercial services were first made available in the Japanese realms of the Internet. The subsequent development of broadband connections, and the popularization of so-called smartphones and other pocket-sized terminals paved the way for 24/7 Internet layering of reality and information that takes place here, one may describe the present situation as a constant back-and-forth between real environments and the virtual world of the Internet.

The Internet enables us to figure out what relatives, friends and acquaintances, and eventually even unknown and unseen people in other parts of the world are doing right now. The background of this is defined by data of individual Internet users recording/discribing themselves and their habits. The community of Facebook users has grown to global scale, and it is said that approximately one million images and about two hundred million messages are posted every day on Flickr and Twitter respectively. These numbers alone are so large that a human lifetime is not enough to view them all.

Such data is being openly modified, processed and reconfigured as necessary through the respective services' application programming interfaces (API). The frequent trade of data between different services reflects a reinforcement of mutual connections, and in the present day the Internet itself is definitely penetrating our conscious mind as a medium that mirrors everyday life. Quite certainly, this is where new, different kinds of realities, textures, modes of communication, and ideas of human life are being generated.

Focusing on “post Internet” art originating in present-day network environments generated in a world in which the Internet has become an everyday matter, and reality is being subsumed in the world of information, this exhibition examines previous examples of artistic work, and attempts to offer a preview of future developments of the Internet in connection with art.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Kwan Sheung Chi (born in 1980) attracted attention for &quot;Teapoy&quot;, the artwork made by Kwan according to his mother's memory and which visualizes family history and human relationships, included in the &quot;Hong Kong Art Biennial Exhibition 2005&quot; (Hong Kong Art Museum). The videos he has been working intensively on in recent years have brought him to international attention, and have been invited to many international exhibitions, such as &quot;Videozone V&quot; (Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Israel, 2010), and &quot;Homemade video from Hong Kong&quot; (National Center for Contemporary Art, St. Petersburg, Russia, Arad Art Museum, Romania, 2011).

The common theme in his video works is an on-going wrestle with the duality of success and failure, and achievement and defeat. For example, &quot;Drinking a glass of hot chocolate with a folk&quot; is a record of Kwan drinking a full glass of hot chocolate using a fork. In &quot;Left vs. Right&quot;, he counts a winning rate of &quot;Rock, paper, scissors&quot; using his left hand vs. right hand. Through his work that is seemingly not advancing, we are invited to be witnesses of a life and and to come up with exit strategies out of our dualistic mind-set. The &quot;ONE MILLION (Japanese Yen)&quot;, a new video work made for this exhibition, counts a handful of bills until one million by repeating the video in the post-production process, expressing an ironic perspective on the principle of a monetary system and money game, the economic activity without reality.

The name of the show is &quot;Collected Works&quot;, including different works in addition to video, like a book which contains different works of an author. The &quot;Apple Core&quot; is a pack of apple juice. In a supermarket it is a drink, a consumer product; putting it in a gallery, people might think about how do we consume, what we're actually consuming. &quot;Lilies&quot; is a seemingly a bunch of lilies in a vase, but actually a collection of artificial lilies if you take a close look. Each branch is different from each other. Each factory making artificial lilies has its own concept, an ideal form of what the lily is and how it should be. The lilly collections are looking towards a common objective but none of them are the same; they all look different, they are all fake.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[3 (three) consists of three artist members, Shuhei Sasaki, Hironori Kawasaki and Yoshitaro Koide. After the successful first solo exhibition at Showcase/ MEGUMI OGITA GALLERY in 2010, its art works have been presented at various showcases at overseas art fairs including Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles. 

The plastic figure dolls are nowadays found everywhere in Japan. The dolls are embodiments of characters from animations and video games, created based on virtual profiles including personalities, ages, body sizes and styles. 3(three) collects thousands of the figure dolls, breaks them into small pieces, and melts and sticks each by heating them, turning them into a block of new material. 

The colors of the skin, hair, and clothes of the dolls are merged to become a mass of vividly colored patterns with the basic tone of Asian skin.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is the largest exhibition in the history of the Swiss contemporary artists Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger, known for their series of dynamic site specific installations.

Since 1997, Gerda and Jorg have been working together and presented wide range of works including installation, collage, photograph, painting and sculpture. Among them, their site specific installations, created in accordance to the specific space, are well known. They often reveal the invisible and unknown cultural significance of the exhibiting site by the artists actually living there and communicating with local people during the creating process. 

The installation usually holds a poetic ambiguity which is always full of ideas about how our world can be. Gerda and Jorg have strong interests in human activities, mysteries and wonders of life, in the relationships between body and mind and the surrounding environment. Those interests are reflected to their creations in the forms of various dimensions that the work retains; cultural, psychological, scientific, biological and social. It enables viewers to relate and to interpret in any way they like. Also beds and chairs in the installations help visitors to enjoy seeing, staying, and being a part of it comfortably, and suggest experience for the senses.

At Art Tower Mito Contemporary Art gallery, Gerda and Jorg will present both their latest and past works created from 1998, which have previously only been introduced fragmentarily in Japan. It includes new and never-before-seen works. They will stay in Mito for more than one month and explore the current environmental and social situations after the massive earthquake on 3.11, and create their latest installations under the theme of power sources. It is not only about bringing the world into shape, but making the latest Japan cultural map by revealing the social and cultural phenomena not visible to people inside.

During this exhibition period, one year will be marked since the earthquake. Showcasing a panoramic view on the artists’ over ten years of history and their latest activities, this exhibition will be a power source to each and everyone of the viewers.

  <Description><![CDATA[Kiyomichi Shibuya showed his work at the 2004 &quot;Roppongi Crossing&quot; exhibition and then also exhibited at Opera City Gallery. His trademark image is the spirograph, refracted with light and shadow. Each of his works can stand on their own and function like a novel with their own characters.

  <Description><![CDATA[The photos exhibited were shot in the spring of 2011 on a trip starting from Turkey’s largest city Istanbul, visiting a number of world heritage sites around the country, a land twice as large as Japan.

One cannot help being moved by the numerous sites of cultural significance and natural beauty spread over Turkey. Magnificent historic treasures offer views of antiquity and times of empire while natural formations impress with the energy of the earth. Yoko Évé presents a photo exhibition exploring nature, history, and the culture of Turkey.

Yoko Évé was born in Tochigi, Japan, in 1978. B.A., faculty of Policy Management, Keio University. She currently resides in Tokyo and deploys artistic documentary style in her photography.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In his debut work, House in a Forest (2006), Hasegawa designed a gabled attic space supported by struts under a gabled roof, creating a wholly unique spatial sensation.

By placing a large table in the center of his next work, House in Sakuradai (2006), he proposed a new relationship between the individual rooms and the living room. More recently, in Apartment in Nerima (2010), Hasegawa equipped every unit with a large terrace with its own distinctive form to incorporate signs of the city into the building. In addition, in Pilotis in a Forest (2010), he elevated the living room on pilotis with a floor height of 6.5 meters, and supported it with nine thin columns.

By integrating the surrounding forest with the work, Hasegawa proposed a bold spatial structure, and received much acclaim for realizing a work in which a comfortable link was created between the resident and the house, and the architecture and the environment.

In the now underway Belfry in Ishinomaki (set to completed in 2012), Hasegawa and a group of volunteers are planning to donate a small belfry to a kindergarden in the city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, which suffered extensive damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The work is imbued with the thought that the sound of the bell will serve as a symbol of hope in local recovery efforts.
Through the scale models and sketches that were developed in the planning for each of the eleven projects that Hasegawa has been involved with in the past, in this exhibition, we hope to convey the relationship between the architect's works and the surrounding environment. In the gallery's courtyard, Hasegawa will also erect Belfry in Ishinomaki, which will then be moved to Ishinomaki when the exhibition concludes.

While suggesting a variety of real conditions that Hasegawa faces in his projects, the title of the exhibition, Study in Real, expresses the architect's view of the future in which while actively considering and repeatedly studying, he attempts to cultivate himself and improve the quality of his architecture.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[People today are greatly interested in celebrities such as actors and entertainers from television and cinema, or athletes and sports players. This was also the same for Edo people and they cheered kabuki actors who made a defiant gesture on stage, got excited about sumo wrestlers on the playing field, and had a longing for high-ranking courtesans in the Yoshiwara district. Image of these Edo &quot;stars&quot; were often depicted in ukiyoe woodblock prints. People who couldn’t see actually these celebrities may have felt close to them by seeing these prints.

This exhibition will focus on various celebrities who animated the city of Edo, including kabuki actors like Ichikawa Danjūrō and Onoe Kikugorō, legendary sumo wrestler Tanikaze, beautiful high-ranking courtesan (Ōishi) Kuranosuke who was known for the Genroku Akō Incident, and Ashikaga Mitsuuji, who is the fictive main character in the bestselling novel “Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji”.

  <Description><![CDATA[In the upcoming forum, Maison Hermès will feature an exhibition by Akira Yamaguchi, one of the most notable contemporary artists today. Born in 1969, Yamaguchi studied oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts where he earned his B.A. and M.A.. His style blends together the everyday and fantasy with unique imagination and a sense of humor, based on sophisticated skill and deep knowledge of Japanese art history and classical Japan decorative paintings (Yamato-e). In 2001, Yamaguchi was awarded the top prize of the Taro Okamoto Memorial Award for Contemporary Art. In recent years, he has expanded his realm of activity from art exhibitions to books, newspaper illustrations and public art.

Born in Hiroo, Tokyo, Yamaguchi grew up in Kiryû City in Gunma prefecture before moving back to Tokyo to attend university. The motif of Tokyo, which he began to depict while still in university, evokes the comicality/ humorous elements of the everyday urban landscape. Yamaguchi perhaps expresses a sense of yearning for his hometown by vividly tracing familiar landscapes that are now gone, filling the works with humor, sweet melancholy, and the mood of walking through an ancient city.

Comprised of mainly new works, the upcoming exhibition at Le Forum features not only Yamaguchi's signature bird's-eye view perspective works inspired by the Japanese artistic genre of &quot;Scenes In and Around Kyoto&quot; (Rakuchu rakugai zu), but also a series of works depicting telephone poles and outmoded shacks that collectively evoke the streets of Tokyo. We take part in the artist's nostalgic vision as we throw ourselves into the landscape that is utterly faithful – with only a shift in the temporal axis – to the aesthetics that emerges out of Tokyo, a city that reaches back to the Meiji and Edo periods. Yamaguchi's world feels at once familiar and far away, ceaselessly retaining yet transcending time ever so lightly.

TOKIORE(I)MIX (Tokyo-Remix), TOKIORE(I)MIX (Temporal-Remix), TOKIORE(I)MIX (Sporadic-Mix).

Just as we are puzzled by the play of words in the title, the viewers' senses are also &quot;mixed&quot; up upon entering this exhibition, as Tokyo emerges in a familiar yet strange temporal layering of past, present and future.

As recent digital cameras typically also contain a video function, the distinction between still images and moving ones is becoming more vague.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ay-O (1931 - ) is known as ‘the Rainbow Artist’ for the way in which he depicts all his motifs through a spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. He was a member of the international avant-garde artist group, Fluxus, using everyday actions or objects as his material to produce a form of art that could be experienced physically through smell, touch and the other senses. This exhibition will present a large-scale, participatory installation and a new painting, 30 meters in length, as well as oil paintings, prints, and performance records or re-creations, tracing the course of his career.

Performance by the artist scheduled for late March. See website for details and updates.

  <Description><![CDATA[Oh was born the youngest of seven children in the rural village of Banseok, Korea, in 1956. He graduated from Seoul National University Art School in 1980 and received a M.F.A. from the Brooklyn College School of Art in 1988 after moving to New York City in 1986. Oh has since been exhibiting extensively both in the United States and Korea, this is his first exhibition in Japan. He is now based in Korea.

Oh Chi Gyun primarily paints landscapes. Sometimes, they are inhabited by a blurry human presence. However, his paintings render Life itself, in its most simple and intricate way. His perfectly mastered impasto technique―using his fingers instead of brushes―coupled with an harmonious gradation of colors bring a non-virtual space to the canvas surface, where layers of light merge with layers of time to guide the viewer into a place irrigated by the continuous flow of memories. Each convoluted stroke appears like a link in an irresistible, almost physical chain reaction of growth and expansion toward the edges of the surface, beyond it, and then back in voluptuous circumvolutions. These currents of vitality englobe the audience in a nearly tangible atmosphere of sensations.

The present exhibition includes a selection of Oh's paintings from his days in New York in the 1990s, to his most recent activity in Korea, showing a wide spectrum of his creation. In the paintings from his &quot;New York&quot; and &quot;Santa Fe&quot; series, he gently brushes with the same holistic touch the two extremes of the American territory, expressing the humanity in places where people are usually either negated or absent. Pieces from his &quot;Sabuk&quot; and &quot;Hometown&quot; series, expressing his soothed and tender look on rural Korea as a returnee, set up the atmosphere into which deploys his most recent and acclaimed &quot;Persimmons&quot; series, handing over keys leading deep into the Korean soul.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition features beautiful women garbed in richly individualistic kimonos, including beauty paintings by Uemura Shōen, Kaburaki Kiyokata and Itō Shinsui, along with examples of ukiyo-e and contemporary Nihonga and Western style paintings. In particular, the female painter Shōen paid close attention to all of the specific details of a kimono outfit, from the textile designs seen on the kimono and obi sash, to the accompanying hairstyle and hair ornaments. A tomboyish young girl seen in Suzuki Harunobu's Picking a Persimmon, Shōen's Snowy Day, depicting a vividly lovely young girl, the sumptuous beauty of a young married woman seen in Kiyokata's Agalloch Pillow, Shinsui's Spring with its elegantly refined modern beauty, and Ogura Yuki's adorable young geisha in Dancing (Maiko Girl, Apprentice Geisha): all reveal the various types of kimono-clad women and their beauty.

We hope that visitors will enjoy this exhibition introducing fascinating images of women clad in traditional Japanese kimono, as kimono-wearing opportunities become all the rarer in our modern world.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Ami Clarke is an artist whose practice often involves working with appropriated material. During extensive periods of research she responds to the material she finds mindful of the contributory factors of where and how the material she is drawn to is found.

Treating the collection of appropriated footage in a way more akin to a research project, the film: &quot;Be Seeing You&quot; explores the multiple perspectives afforded by film technology, and touches on relations between the audience and projected image.

The immersive environment creates a visual equivalent of certain kinds of auditory stimulation, an aural world, as M. McLuhan noted &quot;the ear favours no particular &quot;point of view&quot;... &quot;we are all enveloped by sound&quot;.

The emphasis on an experiential encounter with video that speaks perhaps of an authentic physiological experience whilst viewing, is complicated by the slippage that occurs between audio and visual affects, and the relentlessly hypnotic affect of the pulsing light.

The humour in the repeated 'takes', suggests a multitude of possibilities.

&quot;Humour as a system of communications and as a problem of our environment - of what’s really going on ... does not deal in theory, but in immediate experience, and is often the best guide to changing perceptions. Older societies thrived on purely literary plots. They demanded story lines. Today’s humour, on the contrary, has no story line - no sequence. It is usually a compressed overlay of stories.&quot;

In a separate work she considers Julian Assange’s comments in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, where the affect of data/news being deleted from the internet, without anyone really noticing it has happened, is described as 'un-publishing'. In this way what was understood, briefly, as 'news', simply disappears.

The publication takes the premise of 'unaccountability' relating to the data stream found in this way on the internet, and more generally, the way in which there can be little certainty re data management, with the advent of digital media, to exact a broad license with the content material in her own artists publication, a 16-page text and visual work, free to take away from the exhibition.

Assange mentions that perhaps it is less difficult in the traditional print media of newspapers, to vanish away such unwanted news, as its material form will potentially still exist with a broad distribution of the paper.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[For its third exhibition, Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo presents its first group show entitled “Cosmic Travelers – Toward the Unknown”. This is also its first show dedicated to Japanese contemporary scene and attests its desire to acknowledge the long-standing relationship between Louis Vuitton and Japan. Within an artistic and institutional landscape paying an increasing attention to young artists, Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo wishes to present a dissonant but complementary point of view. Around the historically grounded figure of Noriyuki Haraguchi, who firmly embodies the links between Western and Japanese avant-gardes, Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo will present artists from two different generations, representing various trends and media.

The word “cosmic” means many things. While the most universal meaning for the word relates to our universe referencing outer space, its connotations are manifold; it can mean limitlessness, infinity, liberal and unifying. As a metaphor, “cosmic” is a state of being with expansive associations, and when combined with the word “travelers,” it becomes a journey of the mind and body involving the senses, intuition, emotions and thoughts. It is in this sense that we are all cosmic travelers moving through space and time searching for truth and the meaning of life.

The five artists selected for the exhibition - Noriyuki Haraguchi, Ataru Sato, Tomoko Shioyasu, Masakatsu Takagi and Go Watanabe - are all forerunners in exploring the multitudes of cosmic aspects in their creative processes. In conceiving new works for the light filled space of Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo, the artists have inevitably incorporated this predominant feature into their works, but each on their own terms. Just as light is the source of all life and the underlining principal for creation, so too, here, it is the unifying element between the artworks presented.

Haraguchi is known for his use of discarded or no-longer functional industrial materials to make simple geometrical structures that reveal a hidden relationship between space and materials in a way that challenges our perception of reality. He has created site-specific works since the Seventies, and for this exhibition, he presents “Triad”, which consists of the three deeply related pieces including an aluminum container with a black liquid filled to the rim. The lacquer-like surface reflects the surrounding space with stunning clarity paradoxically disclosing its overwhelming solidity as an illusion. Interacting with the immense structure of the space, where the polarities of light and shadow are unified, this work transforms the space into a charged field of exquisitely balanced and composed forms.

Sato sensed sacredness from the exhibition space where the abundant natural light continuously streams through the glasses, and he created a portrait of a god entitled “Sign”. His provocative and diabolic visions are composed of convoluted amalgamations of deformed, fragmented body parts, internal organs and bodies cut wide open, unknown creatures, faces of people, animals and bugs. What might be called “trans-surrealistic, micro-maniac” portrait invites us past the surface into the vast stretches of a deep mysterious world within. Sato will also create his work with the universe as its theme in a live performance over several sessions.

Shioyasu makes exquisitely detailed paper-cuttings that transform the traditional decorative medium of Kiri-e into a dynamic harmony of patterns emulating natural elements such as water droplets, bubbles and cells. A large piece of paper work, eight meters in length and two meters in width, floats in the exhibition space just as its title “Flowing Sky” refers. Her other piece, “Bubbles”, a three-dimensional collage of round shapes made with pierced holes in synthetic paper, floats freely in an acrylic case. Astoundingly subtle interplays of light and shadow literally create and quietly amplify, through intricately cut patterns, a sense of harmony and interconnectedness between the visible and the invisible.

Watanabe creates new worlds in landscapes with animated surfaces. He crafts images with a variety of digital techniques, taking everyday objects from interior spaces as well as landscapes for his motifs, paring them down to their essential components and giving autonomy and freedom of movement to their surfaces. For this exhibition, he presents “one landscape, a journey”, an animated landscape composed of everyday cups and bowls stacked in a kitchen sink that is based on the panoramic landscape seen through the glass walls of the exhibition space. Suggesting a world in constant motion, Watanabe’s work reveals the origins of the word animation, the imparting of anima or soul to inorganic objects. The way he gives motion to the objects encourages us to consider the possibility of another dimension of reality in which all things are alive and conscious.

Multi-media artist Takagi’s work offers multi-dimensional adventures in virtual dreamscape through free association. It is a “moving painting” that brings forth a delightful feeling of riding on the oceanic waves of constantly changing color and form. For this exhibition, Takagi presents a visionary landscape that simulates the energy and radiance of the sun in which elements of fluid color and form merge and coalesce to form a larger whole, eventually creating a symphony of energy that transforms our inner vision.

All five of these artists are Cosmic Travelers in every possible sense of the term as the configuration of the exhibition mimics the vortex of cosmic energy already moving within the space. Walking through this exhibition literally becomes a journey from the darkness into the light offering a dynamic rhythm to the overall experience, in which visitors will be provided different traveling experiences every time they visit the exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[On display are photographic works by 3 artists: Motoko Otsuki works in a documentary style, recording landscapes and food with her camera, extracting only a vague essence from them and putting it on her canvas.Toshiyuki Katsube uses a mechanical pencil to draw grids that give his subjects the appearance of analog pixels. Saeko Kuwana will exhibit a series of delicately embroidered pieces that represent a new direction in her practice.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is the first ever large-scale Japan retrospective of the Inca Empire, the last of the Andes civilizations and the largest one in South America, which flourished from the early 15th century up until the early 16th century. How did the Incas build monumental architectural structures without the use of a wheel or iron tools? What sort of leader was the &quot;Sun King&quot;? This exhibition hopes to provide answers to some of these questions. Of particular interest is a 530-inch theater that will allow visitors to have a virtual, 3D experience of the Macchu Picchu ruins.

  <Description><![CDATA[Komori's past work mostly depicted exchanges between her internal life and external surroundings with a pure, innocent sensitivity. Ever since the 3.11 quake, however, she was forced to rethink the meaning of the act of painting. These paintings feature simpler compositions that make viewers more keenly aware of a living, breathing sense of emotion.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 2012, which marks the 40th anniversary of the normalization of relations between Japan and China, the Tokyo National Museum is holding an exhibition of masterpieces from the Palace Museum, Beijing.

The site of the Palace Museum, Beijing, was formerly the residence of 24 Chinese emperors from the Ming-dynasty Emperor Yongle to the Qing-dynasty Emperor Puyi. In addition to its own glorious architecture, it houses a collection of more than 1.8 million artifacts.

This magnificent exhibition consists of a selection of 200 masterpieces from that collection and is split into two sections. The first section features the simultaneous display of 41 Song- and Yuan-dynasty calligraphic works and paintings not previously shown outside the palace (some works for a limited period), as well as masterpieces of court and literati paintings, must-see works by three of the best calligraphers of the Song period, and masterworks of calligraphy by Yuan-period literati. Boasting a tremendous array of fabulous bronzes, jades and other artifacts, this lineup can be described as a defining exhibition of the Palace Museum. The second section centers around four portraits of Emperor Qianlong, whose reign marked the Qing dynasty’s golden period. This section seeks to understand the abundance of world views held in the Qing dynasty. There is also an area that attempts to recreate, using existing artworks, a portrait of Emperor Qianlong in which he is depicted surrounded by various masterpieces.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to announce our first exhibition with Amsterdam based Marijke van Warmerdam. Van Warmerdam is particularly well known for her film loops, which radiate a crystal clear simplicity. In her recent work “Face to face”, a group of macaws circle round a tree, which appears to exert a strong force of attraction on the birds. The tree trunk has an anthropoid face. Could that be the reason for all the excitement? One might believe it is, particularly when one of the macaws goes and sits on the ‘chin’ of the tree and looks straight into the tree trunk’s eyes. But is it true?

Besides this film loop Van Warmerdam will present a series of paintings based upon film stills printed on canvas. Her film loops are characterized by visual reduction, velocity, repetition and simplicity, and these characteristic elements can also be found in these paintings.

In her film stills on canvas one can see sprigs moving so fast that the flowers have become mere streaks, almost as if someone picked up a brush and smeared the blossoms. And why not reproduce by the painter’s hand that frozen moment in film and grab a brush or a piece of wood and get to work? And so the artist began to make a reverse painting with a bucket and broom of what was already present; a frozen moment. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sachiko M, a proudly independent improviser, has been in the spotlight internationally for manipulating the sine waves of a sampler’s internal test tones, extremely simplified minimalist sounds using switching noise, and further her meticulous approach to music.

Since 1994, she has been active as a central sampler player involved in the cut-up and plunderphonics (audio piracy sampling). In 1998, she drastically changed her approach and originated her own method of playing a sampler.
With the release of “Sine Wave Solo” in 2000 consisting entirely of sine waves, she became the focus of interest on the international scene, including in British magazine “Wire” and at European music festivals.

Since then she has been active in a number of projects, including the experimental electronic music duo “Filament” with Otomo Yoshihide, the electronic trio “I.S.O.” with Yoshihide Otomo and Ichiraku Yoshimitsu (from Yamaguchi), a duo with Toshimaru Nakamura, and the duo “Cosmos” with Ami Yoshida. She is currently working on solo works and projects, the live series “Bar Sachiko” and the sound installation “I’m here&quot;.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Rat Hole Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of the late artist Jack Goldstein (1945-2003). Jack Goldstein’s performances, films, paintings, and sound works of the late 1970’s and early 80’s helped define the early stages of post-modernist art. A leading member of the Pictures Generation in New York that initiated a paradigm shift in art focusing on the critical examination of images, he has served as a major influence on many artists who came after him and has been called one of the most important artist’s artists in the last 30 years. On view from January 25 until March 25, this exhibition marks the first time for Jack Goldstein’s work to be shown in Japan.

Jack Goldstein was born in 1945 in Montreal, Canada and moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was a teenager. Goldstein received his initial training at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and then went on to earn a master’s degree as a member of the inaugural class at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in 1972. During his time at CalArts, he was a student of and teaching assistant to John Baldessari, where the primary focus of Baldessari’s famous “post-studio-art” class was the analytical investigation of imagery produced by the mass media.

Goldstein created a number of minimalist sculptures early on in his career, but soon turned to performance and film. During the 1970s, Goldstein divided his time between Los Angeles and New York, and from 1973 he began to produce a group of color films using professional technicians and special effects from the film and entertainment industry. With flashes of color and spectacularization undermining the iconic architecture of the image and the “place” of the viewer, these films were interrogations of media, technology, and spectacle, showing the artist’s fascination with appropriated Pop culture and Hollywood imagery. One of the most famous of these color films is &quot;The Jump&quot; (1978), a twenty-six second loop film projected onto a red painted wall, which will be shown in the exhibition at Rat Hole Gallery and was also screened at last year’s Venice Biennale. In &quot;The Jump&quot;, made using altered footage taken from Leni Riefenstahl's documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Olympia, the image of a somersaulting high board diver is rotoscoped, tinted gold, scattered with stars, and placed against a void-like black background, out of which the figure repeatedly dives. Goldstein’s use of the rotoscoping technique strips the image of all identifying references, and the element of spectacle overpowers physical matter. Along with other members of the Pictures Generation, which takes its name from the landmark 1977 “Pictures” exhibition at the Artist’s Space in New York City and also included artists Robert Longo, Sherrie Levine, Troy Brauntuch, Goldstein’s examination of the image was based on an attitude of conceptual distance, in reaction to the extreme dominance of technology and media in post-war American society.

In 1976, Goldstein commenced with a new body of work, &quot;the records&quot;. These were colored vinyl records of sound recordings sourced from commercial archives that conjured intense visuals with titles such as “Burning Forest” or “Wrestling Cats.” These audio works served as a further abstraction to his films and were also designed as “images” to be installed on a wall without the possibility to play them. Goldstein conceived his records as both sound carriers and visual objects, saying “the records, they’re sounds as image, so I saw them as pictures.” Altogether, Goldstein produced eight record works, each of which differed with regard to design, size, and playing time. Out of the eight works, three consist of a series and one of these series, A Suite of Nine 7-Inch Records, will be on view in this exhibition.

Jack Goldstein’s oeuvre spans sculpture, performance, film, sound, photography, and painting. Central in his work however are primarily the 16mm films and records made in the 1970s, which can be considered among the finest examples of post-conceptual work from this time period. This exhibition will provide a unique and rare opportunity to view among Jack Goldstein’s most famous film works - a selection of ten short 16mm films from the period 1974-1978 including &quot;The Jump&quot;, &quot;MGM&quot;, &quot;Shane&quot;, and &quot;Butterflies&quot; - as well as a display of his record series.

  <Description><![CDATA[Norichika Hayashi was born in 1948 and graduated from the Tokyo University of the Arts. His wooden sculptures depict casual everyday landscapes that evoke a faint nostalgia in the mind of the viewer. This exhibition showcases 4 pieces including &quot;Safety First&quot;, a randomly assembled installation of machine parts that resembles a construction site.

  <Description><![CDATA[Since the 1990s, Lee Bul has built an international career as one of the leading contemporary artists from Asia. Her oeuvre is dominated by sculptures that demonstrate a mastery of materials and techniques, including her celebrated Cyborgs and Anagrams series, hybrid machine-and-organic forms referencing critical theory as well as dystopian cinematic worlds; karaoke &quot;pods&quot; that evoke space capsules for eternal sleep; and glittering, spectral gyres and cityscapes that seem to be falling into ruin. For over twenty years, it could be said that Lee, whose practice has spanned her home country's transition from military dictatorship to democracy, has been on a quest for an elusive something, the ultimate physical form perhaps, or the ideal society.

While showcasing her major works in the four sections &quot;Ephemeral Presence,&quot; &quot;Beyond Human,&quot; &quot;Utopia and Dreamscape&quot; and &quot;From Me, Belongs to You Only,&quot; in the &quot;Studio&quot; section this exhibition will present the drawings and models that also form the font of her ideas. The subtitle &quot;From Me, Belongs to You Only&quot; is also a message from Lee: her attempt to find the &quot;something&quot; for which she is constantly searching in a personal relationship with each individual viewer.

Events:
Artist Talk (Japanese-Korean-English simultaneous interpretation available)
Lee Bul, who will visit Japan for the exhibition, discusses her own artistic activities over the last two decades.
Date: 19:00-20:30 Saturday 4 February, 2012
Venue: Academyhills49, Roppongi Hills Mori Tower 49F
Capacity: 150 (bookings required)
Admission: General ¥1,000 MAMC Member free

Symposium  (Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation available)
Seeking an Ideal Society
In her series &quot;Mon grand récit,&quot; and other works, Lee Bul has pursued an ideal vision of society with reference to the utopian theories and social political theories of the 20th century. The South Korea of the late 1980s, where she began her work as an artist, was experiencing a time of both hope and uncertainty as the country shifted towards democracy and existing value systems were being shaken up. The panelists at this symposium will be Lee Bul, who will visit Japan for the exhibition; Richard Noble a leading Western researcher into utopian theories; and Takahashi Toru, a scholar on cyborg theory, who considers future societies with reference to cyborg technology really does have the potential to create 'ultimate bodies.' These panelists will discuss Lee's artwork in the context of the 20th century, out of which utopian theories were born. In the present age of confusion, we invite you to come and think about the visions for ideal society that each of them describe.
Speakers: Lee Bul, Richard Noble (Head of Art Department at Goldsmiths College, University of London), Takahashi Toru (Professor, Waseda University)
Moderator: Kataoka Mami (Chief Curator, Mori Art Museum)
Date: 14:00-16:00 Sunday 5 February, 2012
