It was a quiet week with the national holidays putting a hole in the art world calendar. However, there are a few things to report.
Discount tickets
The Mori Art Museum in Roppongi is offering tickets to its current exhition, Ai Weiwei “According to what?” (reviewed on TABlog), at just 1000 yen for the period October 5 to 16 (weekdays only). To take advantage of the discount you have to go between 17:00 and 20:00. It is part of a commendable campaign to get city people out at night and not stuck in their offices doing overtime!
Openings
Last weekend saw YUKA Contemporary open its doors (see the photo report on TABlog) and this Saturday (September 16) has Ohshima Fine Art kicking off in the Kagurazaka building (also home to MORI YU and Yuka Sasahara). The debut exhibition is Katsunori Miyagi’s “Unknown Memories” and the opening reception starts at 17:00.
Closing
And now some sad news. The venue Gotanda Sonic is closing. Many TAB users will know the venue for the TAB Talks that took place there a few moons ago. There is a farewell party on Monday night.
Cash prizes
The Praemium Imperiale awards have been announced for 2009. Given in honour of Prince Takamatsu the laureates of each category represent areas not covered by the Nobel Prizes. The winners this year include Hiroshi Sugimoto (photography), Richard Long (sculpture), Zaha Hadid (architecture) and Tom Stoppard (theatre/film). The gongs come with 15 million yen!
