We are pleased to announce that UESHIMA MUSEUM will hold a new collection exhibition, “Thematic Exhibition for Creative Encounters,” starting from June 21, 2025 (Sat).
Since its opening in June 2024, the UESHIMA MUSEUM COLLECTION has been presenting a wide range of artworks selected from more than 700 works of contemporary art by a wide range of artists from Japan and abroad under the theme of “contemporaneity” and in accordance with various themes, Since its opening in June 2024, the UESHIMA MUSEUM COLLECTION has been introduced by many domestic and international media and social networking services, and has attracted much attention.
This second exhibition of the collection will be renewed under the curatorial direction of Yuko Hasegawa, who served as the director of 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa until March 2025. In addition, an installation work by James Turrell will be newly exhibited as a part of the permanentcollection.
The second collection will be mostly replaced by a new exhibition, except for the permanent part on the second floor.
The first exhibition in this collection, with “contemporaneity” as its core theme, focused on hot abstraction to express the emotions and humanity of contemporary people, while contemporary narrative through figuration and conceptual art were also on display.
This time, James Turrell's installation will be added to the second floor, and the long, narrow space in the center will become the Gerhard Richter exhibition gallery. On the other floors, all the exhibits have been revamped, curated by the globally acclaimed Yuko Hasegawa, in order to offer unique encounters with diverse contemporary art expressions. By setting a theme for each floor and creating a flow of exhibits, the connection between the works is designed to stimulate the viewer's imagination and allow for free interpretation.
The exhibition rooms have been transformed with diverse themes such as space, pop, soothing geometry, lively narration, love and glitch, etc., a space open to the Shibuya landscape, and a shining white floor with a sense of floating. Please visit the evolving UESHIMA MUSEUM.

地下1Fから5Fまであるのでたっぷり現代アートを楽しめます。各階毎にテーマが異なるので、ドアを開けるたびに別の空間に入った気分を味わえます。展示空間に余白があるので、落ち着いて鑑賞できました。事前に、UESHIMA MUSEUMさんのサイトに今回の展示の解説があります。予習していくもよし、帰ってから余韻に浸りながら読むもよしです。階段の踊り場には杉本博司さんの写真が飾ってあります。こちらもお忘れなく。
