“Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan” had a successful opening on August 12, 2017. Enjoy an artist talk with Miyuki Yokomizo on September 1, 2017, at 7pm.
“Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan” focuses on art produced in Japan at the beginning of the 21st century. Organized by the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles and curated by Kio Griffith, the group exhibition showcases 42 works – paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and videos – of eleven young Japanese artists. Artists include: Atsushi Fukui, Satoshi Hirose, Maywa Denki, Tomoyasu Murata, Tetsuya Nakamura, Masafumi Sanai, Katsuhiro Saiki, Yoshihiro Suda, Tabaimo, Nobuyuki Takahashi, and Miyuki Yokomizo.

The eleven artists featured in this exhibition are responding in a similar way to the current state of the world. They take their subject matter from their immediate surroundings and make art that strongly reflects their own personal reality. Their work has a rich visual impact and reveals a strong interest in the process of making things.
