The show also includes some overseas works related to Japanese pieces. Many of the exhibits are largely replaced five times a year. In addition to the historical approach, a smaller show, &quot;Topic in Focus&quot; is given in each exhibition period to shed new light on modern Japanese art. 

The permanent collection is displayed in regular rotation. Please check the museum's website for details. ]]></Description>

  <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[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[We are glad to present Yoshiaki Kuribara's Fantastic Eccentric Show with Dokuro All Stars, the solo exhibition of the energetic artist Yoshiaki Kuribara to be held in the sports hall of 3331 Arts Chiyoda. Taking &quot;theme Park&quot; as his keyword, Kuribara will present numerous large scale works (both past work and new work) to form a highly original space within the sports hall. With support from the &quot;Dokuro All Stars&quot;, the exhibition space will be activated through performances and film screenings. Proposing a new concept of exhibition making, utilizing a space of 622 sqm, with a height of 6.7m, it is sure to be a giant show!

Who are Dokuro All Stars?
Dokuro All Stars is a term used to refer to members of the organization &quot;Dokuro Kogyo&quot; of which Kuribara is also a member. Dokuro Kogyo is a new platform that aims to support artists by conveying the importance of freedom.

  <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[Katsuhiro Otomo made his debut over 39 years ago, an event that has since gone down in Japanese manga history as  a boundary marker between &quot;pre-Otomo&quot; and &quot;post-Otomo&quot;. He has had an enormous impact on international creators all over the world in the fields of comics, film, music and more. Some 20 years after it was first serialized, &quot;Akira&quot; is now being turned into a live-action film that is the talk of the town in Hollywood.

All the works on display at this exhibition are original illustrations hand-drawn by Otomo himself, including representative pieces from Domu, Kibun wa mo Senso, and Sayonara Nippon that testify to the prodigious imagination of this leading manga artist.

All tickets will be sold as Lawson tickets. Tickets for April go on sale March 3rd, while those for May go on sale April 14th. See website for more details.]]></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.
