(UN)KNOWN HIROKO KOSHINO
Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, 4-1-1 Miyoshi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, JPFor this meetup, we will check out an exhibition that showcase works of Hiroko Koshino.
"The exhibition '(UN)KNOWN HIROKO KOSHINO' sheds light on the essential value and range of the creations of Hiroko Koshino – a pioneer in Japanese fashion and culture – through a contemporary perspective, featuring carefully selected pieces from her vast body of work produced over a career spanning more than half a century. By layering the social conditions and cultural contexts of each period of her career with the artistic practices of the same era, the exhibition will question how expressions emerged and what meaning we can gain from them today.

Tony Oursler: Tech/Gnosis-Magic, Media, Art
Tokyo Node, Tokyo Toranomon Hills Station Tower 8F, 2-6-2 Toranomon, Minato-ku,, Tokyo, JPFor this meetup, we will check out the first large scale exhibition of Tony Oursler in Japan.
"Tony Oursler(born 1957) is an artist known for his enigmatic, immersive installations that combine video, sculpture, sound, light, and words. He is highly regarded as a pioneer who opened up the art form of projection mapping, which is now widely seen, and projects images onto three-dimensional objects.
This exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of major works, including early pieces such as "Private" (1993-1997) and "Specular" (2021), in which contemporary artist Jim Shaw also participated. In addition, it will feature previously unreleased works that have been conceived over a quarter of a century ago, as well as brand new site-specific works created specifically for this exhibition."
