A Contemporary Pursuit of the Modern

In this exhibition, artists who practice in contemporary times will challenge themselves to recreate the spirit of iconic paintings from Japan’s modernist period.
They will do this not by merely appropriating from past works but by traveling back in time to place themselves in the shoes of the artists from that era and competing in the same artistic arena.
While the results will undoubtedly showcase a respect for the past masters who forged the history of Japanese art, it remains to be seen what form these new pieces will take. We hope you look forward to it.
