Celebrating the Publication of “Japanorama” (Suiseisha): Talk Event by Yuko Hasegawa, Yasuo Kobayashi and Futoshi Hoshino “Panorama of Japanese Contemporary Art”

The exhibition “JAPANORAMA” was held at the Centre Pompidou, Metz in 2017. The exhibition, which was held at the Centre Pompidou in Metz in 2017, depicted a panorama of contemporary Japanese visual culture since 1970, with six themes arranged like an archipelago, including “Strange Objects, Bodies: Posthuman,” “Poetics Beyond Politics,” and “Soft, Floating Subjectivity, Ultra-Private Documentary. This exhibition, which depicted contemporary visual culture in Japan since 1970 as a panorama, caused a great sensation.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a long-awaited book in Japanese and English, JAPANORAMA: NEW VISION ON ART SINCE 1970 has been published. The book introduces the works exhibited in the exhibition in full color and includes nine authors’ essays on the visual culture of contemporary Japan since 1970.

In this event, we invite Ms. Yuko Hasegawa, who curated the “JAPANORAMA” exhibition, and the authors of this book, Mr. Yasuo Kobayashi and Mr. Futoshi Hoshino, to explore the vein of contemporary Japanese visual culture.
