Scion Space Presents: Tokyo Nonsense

October 4 - October 25, 2008

Curated by: Gabriel Ritter

The title, TOKYO NONSENSE, not only refers to the city itself but  
also references the word "nonsense" in the context of Japanese  
popular culture, connoting so-called "modern decadence" and the  
rebellious, anti-establishment spirit of the 1960s student protest  
movement. The work of these 11 young artists reflects both Tokyo's  
frenetic energy and the banal realities of everyday city life. The  
exhibition will consist of more radical forms of expression such as  
performance, video, and installation art in addition to more  
traditional mediums such as drawing, painting, and woodblock printing.

Original work by: Ichiro Endo, Taro Izumi, Ai Kato (aka ai*madonna),  
Sachiko Kazama, Iichiro Tanaka, and the six-member artist group,  
Chim?Pom
