This exhibition was planned by the Japan Foundation to introduce a new generation of contemporary Japanese artists to the world. Prior to the world tour, the show will be shown at the Hara Museum. Curated by art critic Midori Matsui, the show features some 30 drawings, paintings and video works by artists who came onto the scene during the later half of the 90s and the first half of the 2000s. The subject of this exhibition is the world of "Micropop," a word coined by Matsui, which refers to the unique world view of the new generation of young Japanese artists who rearrange diverse fragments of information and knowledge to give new meaning and uses to things that are outdated and commonplace.
