Contemporary Art in JapanCurator Siumee Helen Keelan presents this mixed media exhibition of innovative and contemporary work by eight leading artists from Japan: Makoto Aida, Peter Bellars, BuBu, Takahiro Fujiwara, Hiroshi Masuyama, Hiroko Okada, Yoshiko Shimada and Koji Tanada.
Society in Japan today is in a state of flux following the rapid growth and contraction of a capitalist economy that encouraged the consumption of both luxury and carnal goods. The artists explore the complex network of relationships surrounding gender, sexuality and commerce. Using irony and wit, history and politics, they invite their audience to play and think in equal measure.
Exhibition is organised by History of Art, Architecture and Design Department of the Design Faculty of Kingston University.
Parental Guidance may be required due to the nature of this exhibition.
