JAPANORAMA. NEW VISION ON ART SINCE 1970
20 October 2017 – 5 March 2018

Curator: Yuko Hasegawa

Combining visual arts, design, fashion, performance art and music this exhibition testifies to the diversity and the extraordinary vitality of Japanese contemporary trends in the arts. With the works of Yayoi Kusama, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Takashi Murakami, Nobuyoshi Araki and many others, some of which are presented for the very first time in France, this exhibition highlights the incredible inventiveness of Japanese creativity as illustrated by their Pop and Manga culture, their perception of tradition and technology, their relationship with identity and the body.
