Curators and critics discuss the society the Japanese artists are facing
"Questioning the Current State of Japanese Contemporary Art"
How do today's Japanese artists confront the events and happenings taking place in the society around them? How does their perspective on those things affect their sense of actuality, and how is that in turn reflected in their artworks?

“What is ‘mono’?”
“Mono-ha” was a tendency in the Japanese sculptural world that was the focus of attention in the 1960s and 70s. Suga Kishio, a central figure in this movement, encouraged viewers to consider not just "mono" as matter but also the surrounding space. But what exactly is “mono”? The artist discusses this in the context of his own practice over the last 50 years.
