What kind of image does Tokyo present as a cultural center as it prepares to hold the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020 ?<\/p>\n
Externally, its digitalized, commercialized culture is difficult to grasp, resembling a flat wasteland; a refined, yet cold glacier.<\/p>\n
Tokyo first began to attract global attention during the 1980s when its creativity blossomed to give birth to a unique culture. Having passed through earthquake disasters and economic recessions, a platform upon which to seek ways to create the next culture is finally coming together.<\/p>\n
This exhibition consists of two elements that allow people to ‘sense’ Tokyo afresh. One presents images of ‘TOKYO’, curated by creators active here in Tokyo in a wide range of fields, each concentrating on their own particular topics.<\/p>\n
The other will consist of new works on the theme of ‘TOKYO’ by artists who work both in Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n
The “TOKYO” exhibition will present the creativity of contemporary Tokyo, which inherits the hot, magma-like vitality of 1980s Tokyo to burst through the glacier.<\/p>\n
