Taishi Urakawa

Yokohama Museum of Art started the "New Artist Picks" project, which aims to introduce young artists, in 2007. Usually held In the art gallery inside the museum, it has been relocated to the temporary enclosure in front of the museum since the museum is closed due to large-scale repair work. Thus this year, the project will kick off with a special edition, the "Wall Project." Following the "Stray Child," the second exhibition will introduce Taishi Urakawa (b. 1994), who depicts the perceptions of the millennial generation.
Urakawa was raised in the early 2000s and is a "digital native." His works reflect the state of information distribution for a new generation brought about by the rapid spread of the Internet and social networks. This project presents a series of five new works, which hide seven QR codes inside of them. The viewers are invited to read the codes with smartphones and rethink the act of "seeing."

Venue: The temporary enclosure in front of the museum.

*The exhibition period is unconfirmed and so the final date on TAB is only a temporary guideline.
