Artist Masato Nakamura's first solo exhibition in 10 years

Shot between Korea and Japan from 1989-94, Masato Nakamura releases a vast collection photos over twenty years later.
From glimpses into his studio as a student in Korea to the myriad of expressions of contemporary artists that would simultaneously cut open Tokyo's art scene, and the objects that existed silently amongst everyday cityscape. Whether as an artist or individual, Nakamura's keen vision captures an increasingly complex culture over time, unfolding from the interconnected actions of each and every being. It's a vision reflected in the finely tuned gaze of an artist facing the world; a display of candid sensitivity towards the creative energy existing within the city. The exposition offers in critical spirit, an attempt to perceive afresh the artistic framework underlying the social experiments that Nakamura has been involved with in recent years - from developing diverse art projects to 3331 Arts Chiyoda in particular.

Moreover, the show imparts valuable insight into the era's art scene, carved by the vivid energy of contemporary artists, gallerist and editors by the likes of Makoto Aida, Nakao Ikemiya, Iwai Sigeaki, Ozawa Tsuyoshi, Hideki Nakazawa, Kazuhiko Hachiya, Tsutomu Ikeuchi, Tomio Koyama, and Min Nishihara. Though premature in the lens of art history, artists, curators and critics who lived the era will be invited for panel discussion surrounding the Japanese art scene of the early '90s. Further, two new series of installation artwork will be revealed.

Please stay tuned for what will be the first presentation in 10 years of new artwork from artist Masato Nakamura.
In addition, this exhibition will be held in conjunction with TRANS ARTS TOKYO 2015.
