A group exhibition featuring eight young artists supported by Tokyo Wonder Site takes place at the refurbished Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum that just reopened last year.
Since 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site has been implementing a variety of programs designed to discover and foster young creators on an ongoing basis, including the TWS-Emerging exhibition in tandem with the Tokyo Wonder Wall show of works submitted from the general public, as well as artist residencies and other programs. In these ten years of activities, we have fostered a great number of artists, many of whom are now operating on an international scale. This exhibition showcases individual renditions of the mindscapes that many of these young creators have been exhibiting, by a total of eight artists ranging from those presently working in the frontlines of art, such as Toru Kuwakubo, Masaya Chiba and Tomoko Nagai, to promising young talents that have just begun to sprout.
Their works depict what could be called interfaces between the natural and the artificial; halfway points right in the middle between inside and outside. They represent sceneries of artists that let the genes of sensibility that the Japanese used to cultivate in particular natural environments, but that have been covered to invisibility in contemporary everyday life, grow rampant like weeds, while spreading their wings and advocating that this is the very horizon they are living on. In times when everyone is feeling that the events of March 2011 have put us on the brink of a major turning point, we would like to invite you to come and take a look at these genes that breath the air of the present age.
