In this exhibition, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo presents works from the end of the 1980s onward under the title “Membrane of the Time” on the 1st floor. Starting with recently acquired works by Seiko Mikami, they introduce a diverse selection of works including those by Tomoaki Ishihara, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Takashi Homma, Yoshiaki Kaihatsu, Mika Kato, Kohei Nawa, Aya Momose, Ishu Han, Thomas Demand, and Lijun Fang in an attempt to look at the changing concepts of the body and its outlook on life.
Housing approximately 5,700 artworks in its extensive collection, each installment of the MOT collection exhibitions introduces artworks from their collection through various themes and angles in its effort to convey the diverse appeal of contemporary art. Their special features of Tadanori Yokoo’s “Ever-Changing, Like Water” and Sam Francis’s “100th Anniversary of Birth” are not to be missed.
