MOT Collection Membrane of the Time Special feature | YOKOO Tadanori―Ever-Changing, Like Water 100th Anniversary of Birth | Sam FRANCIS
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo houses approximately 5,700 artworks in its extensive collection, which spans the modern and contemporary periods with a focus on art of the postwar years. Each installment of the “MOT Collection” exhibition introduces artworks in the collection from various themes and angles in its effort to convey the diverse appeal of contemporary art.
On the 1st floor, works from the end of the 1980s onward will be presented under the title, “Membrane of the Time”. Starting with recently acquired works by MIKAMI Seiko, we introduce a diverse selection of works including those by ISHIHARA Tomoaki, HIRAKAWA Noritoshi, HOMMA Takashi, KAIHATSU Yoshiaki, KATO Mika, NAWA Kohei, MOMOSE Aya, HAN Ishu, Thomas DEMAND, FANG Lijun in an attempt to look at the changing concepts of the body and outlook on life that is observed there.
The 3rd floor section titled, “Special feature: YOKOO Tadanori―Ever-Changing, Like Water” introduces works centering on those added to the museum’s collection on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition held in 2021. Featuring Yokoo’s oeuvre spanning from the 1960s to recent, the exhibit explores new appeals of his artistic practice through focusing on expressions related to “water” that appears in many of his rich variety of works. In addition, works by artists with a deep connection to Yokoo will be presented.
Visitors are also invited to enjoy a series of large-scale paintings by Sam FRANCIS, of which this year marks his centennial.
