  <Description><![CDATA[Our permanent exhibition, held on the first floor, features the work of metal-cast artists Hotsuma Katori and Shinobu Tsuda.  Both being born in the same period, in the Hokuso area of Chiba Prefecture, the two were opposites in artistic viewpoints; Katori emphasized tradition while Tsuda called for revolution.   Works on display will be rotated every three months.]]></Description>

The unique experiences of open-air museum await you, as different seasons and weather create an ever-changing sensation of true art.
The Museum realizes the philosophy of Henry Moore “Sculpture is an art of the open-air” with a grand backdrop of Hakone's great nature.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A case can be observed brimming with fabric. Looking upon this work, seemingly like a mountain of discarded laundry, intricate constructions of pylons and towers can be discerned. The seemingly random creases and wrinkles of the fabric become actual contours of a mountainous landscape. Upon further observation of these constructions one may come to see they are formed from numerous colours and thicknesses of thread. And the pile of cloth which at first glance seemed a white mass, gradually reveals itself to be a formation of many different shades of white, with a complex range of surface patterns and quality, recalling the diversity of a mountain plantation. For one year you are welcome to enjoy this microcosm, placed within a glass case like a scientific specimen.]]></Description>

  <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[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[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[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[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[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[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[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[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)
