Twitter Surprises
Many of you may know that Takashi Murakami recently started tweeting. Amongst his plethora of daily messages came a surprising one this week: he found another Nara Yoshitomo fake on the Sotheby’s website. The offending work has apparently now been taken down but when we looked it was going for up to forty thousand yen.
Sad News
The signs of the recession continue: Art Jam Contemporary, the female artist-focussed gallery on the second floor of the NADiff building in Ebisu, is closing. This is on top of the re-structuring of the third floor’s Magical, artroom at the beginning of the year into an as yet uncertain “new style alternative space”. Art Jam will hold a closing party on March 14, at the end of their current show.

Umm i think it has very little to do with the economy. Pretty girl pictures may be fun to look at, fun to attend the party, fun to gawk at and …, but try spending YOUR money on one and see how fun it remains. It was a hype place from a company. It had no interest in ART, just promoting itself. Ask yourself, “Did I buy something from there and why not?”
Instead of just willy-nilly liking and promoting things, consider the end user. If someone— better yet, YOU— spends ￥350,000+ on a piece of art, don’t you want some assurance that it actually matters. That you are not pissing your money away to make some fun loving child happy but she/he really is not interested in making better or more insightful artwork? Step back from the momentary part nd think about owning this work. Remember you cant hype content INTO a picture. Sooner or later we will discover that it was empty as our wallets.
