- Roppongi Crossing 2010: Can There Be Art?
-
“Roppongi Crossing” is a series of exhibitions held every three years that introduces the work of diverse artists and creators with an eye to presenting a vision of the future of the Japanese art scene. Each “Roppongi Crossing” is planned by different curators, meaning the perspective is always fresh and original. The series represents a "crossing" of the most exciting creative talent Japan has to offer.
This, the third in the series, highlights the ambitions and dynamic talents who are today actively turning the pages of Japanese art history. The exhibition represents a “crossing” of diverse output – photography, sculpture, installation, video, graffiti, performance and so on – by 20 artists and units ranging from up-and-coming stars to art world veterans.■Dates : Saturday, 20 March to Sunday, 4 July

The objective of this event is to discuss in general terms the role that art should play in society and also to think about art in Japan today. In the first part, the three exhibition curators describe the exhibition concept, the participating artists and their artworks. At the same time, they explore the possibilities for art emerging out of recent movements in the Japanese art world. The second part sees a special talk session between BuBu De la MADELEINE, who performed in Dumb Type's S/N, which is included in the exhibition, and ASADA Akira, who was one of the first critics to laud Dumb Type's work. Don't miss this opportunity to talk about the Japanese artists who are actively turning the pages of this nation's art history.

Meanwhile, over the last few years, Osaka-based unit, contact Gonzo, has gained an international reputation for their dynamic and confrontational performances that at first appear like fistfights.
