Business Overview

In this project, Anton Vidkur, who has a global influence in contemporary art, has been invited to Tokyo, and the aim is to create a new film set in Japan. In addition to his work as an artist, Vidkul founded e-flux, an e-mail distribution service with 90,000 subscribers, in 1998 to promote information on contemporary art. It has played a leading role in bridging the information gap and reorganizing the international art infrastructure by connecting individual students and art professionals to world-class art institutions. In this project, along with the production of a new work that tackles the sociopolitical history of Tokyo, he will hold lectures and screenings to introduce his past activities and thoughts, and will also produce a new video work set in Tokyo during his visit to Japan.
