Tomoe Moriyama, media arts curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Tokyo, discusses the current state of Japanese media art, animation,
comics, and game works as perceived by international festivals and,
conversely, museum culture. She considers the influence of avant-garde art
in postwar Japan on media artists today and the effect of the post-bubble
economy on the future of Japanese media arts. Moriyama addresses why the
Japanese became interested in avant-garde art in postwar Japan and she
examines the various forms of expression among young contemporary artists
in Japan today.

This lecture is presented in conjunction with the Getty Research
Institute's exhibition Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art: Experimentations in the
Public Sphere in Postwar Japan, 1950-1970 (on view through June 3, 2007).
