Ryuichi Sakamoto
Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is pleased to present the exhibition Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time.
A composer and an artist, Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952-2023) continuously paved the way for his era through his diverse and cutting-edge artistic activities. Since the 2000s, he devoted himself to creating three-dimensional sound installations in exhibition spaces, which he developed and realized in collaboration with various artists. Focusing entirely on large-scale installation works, this first comprehensive exhibition in Japan looks back on Sakamoto's pioneering, experimental creative artworks, including some of his most well-known previous pieces, and new works that he envisioned for this particular occasion before his passing, which will be dynamically constructed in and around the museum building.

Such an impressive body of work! Such wonderful pieces and collaborations and immersive works that leave a lasting impression. With regard to the placement of screens and seating in some rooms, it was inconvenient to be seated on the floor in front of big screens, it almost felt like the space was a bit small for the grandiosity of the exhibition especially given that a lot of people are showing up for this spectacular work..I would suggest having paid more attention to spatial design. Again, the very first room / exhbit with three screens - it was so wonderful but failed go provide English translations / subtitles for the earlier film in the forest.. Given the international standing of works like this, it is essential that English is given equal importance as people from all over the world come to visit. I turned on my Google translator which live translated the audio for me to get a brief understanding of what was being said. Nonetheless, while museum and exhibition deisgn wise there is scope for perfection, the exhibition works itself were worth going for..highly recommended. ✨️
