Originally held at Seoul, Korea in May 2004, “Move on Asia” is an Art Festival covering animation and single-channel video art. Works by 45 artists from 11 countries will be on display,…

    The new show at ICC, “Art Meets Media: Adventures in Perception,” makes a nice companion to the latest issue of ART iT. ICC introduced this group exhibition of media artists as an “ABC of media art”, and in fact it’s an event of great depth and covering a fairly wide scope. Next to works that…

    Worst exhibition title of the year? This exhibition gathers female artists including Ikemura Leiko, Konoike Tomoko, Okada Hiroko, as well as Sawada Tomoko, who transformed into a whole class of school girls for a group shot (photo), and Shimada Yoshiko, who reveals “family secrets” she collected from visitors. The entire exhibition space is dominated by…

    The Mori Tower’s Mori Arts Center Gallery (52F) has just launched the Ando Tado designed Louis Vuitton exhibition “Universal Symbol of the Brand.” From antique trunks dating back to 1854, the birth of “Louis Vuitton”, to topical bags created in collaboration with modern artists, the many rare items featured in this exhibition trace the roots…

    Patrick makes it to Tea Room Alice, a maid-themed cafe in Nakano, and lives to blog about it. Too bad he wasn’t allowed to take pictures inside. It’s true that these sort of cafes are popping up a lot, especially in Akihabara. I saw one featured on TV a while back, and the maid outfits…

    “Archigram” is a new experimental architecture exhibition happening at Art Tower Mito‘s Contemporary Art Gallery. Looks like it’ll make for an excellent complement to the current Mori Art Museum “Archilab” exhibition, which I quite enjoyed. Archigram is the name of a group of experimental British architects active from the 60s to the early 70s, and…

    Some Tokyo Geidai sponsored events of interest. Did you know that the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music has a department of Inter Media Art? Professors include Fujihata Masaki (who featured in the latest issue of ART iT magazine), however this apparently doesn’t mean that “cutting-edge art” — the department’s Japanese name —…
