Variation and Autonomy features over 40 works by ten Japanese artists, including Masanari Murai, Yayoi Kusama, Natsuyuki Nakanishi. Curated by Kyoji Takizawa from the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, the exhibition introduces the singular evolution of Japanese printmaking which is developed as a trend in contemporary art among painters who were not specialists in printmaking. Alongside the exhibition, an exciting workshop and film screening will be held as below. Aucklanders will be able to witness a rich Japanese history of contemporary printmaking and will be encouraged to reconsider this history from a variety of critical perspectives. This exhibition is organised in collaboration with Auckland Council, Studio One Toi Tū and Japan Foundation and also a part of Auckland Arts Festival 2024 and World of Cultures 2024. |
