The National Museum of Art, Okutama, opened in 2012. In the two years since, it has been subjected to rain, wind, and last year’s heavy snow. But with the opening of The National Museum of Art, Okutama: 13-Day Premium Drift, its fortunes seem to have been revived.
Contemporary Japan, we believe, is, like the weather of the last two years, in the middle of harsh drift and its people seem to be carried along and battered by forces greater and beyond anyones intentions. In a sense, we Japanese are just drifting.
Our exhibition features 13 artists who, with joy and determination, show how they are steering through the contemporary torrent. The exhibition is held for only 13 days at The National Museum of Art, Okutama, located in the mountains remote from the city. We are looking forward to your visit.
