Highlights
On the first floor, under the title, “Journals,” artworks created daily against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and disastrous events that have transformed our lives, the Olympics held upon a global scale, and the ordinary day-to-day, are presented in the form of an anthology comprising a wide variety of artists. Highlights of the exhibition include Chim↑Pom’s May, 2020, Tokyo (Okubo Station), as well as new print works “Quarantine Series” and Zeus: the God of Olympia by Oscar OIWA (all on special exhibit).

Presented on the third floor is the special exhibit “Storage and Display,” consisting of an installation of the works of Mark MANDERS. The artist’s solo exhibition “The Absence of Mark Manders” which was held until June at the museum, had been temporarily closed for over a month due to the effects of the pandemic. Therefore with the cooperation of the artist himself and owners of the work, the museum has organized “another exhibition” in which the works presented in Manders’ solo exhibition are reconfigured and introduced in a new manner through the direction of the artist.
