"DOMMUNE University of the Arts -Tokyo Arts Circulation-" will take place from September 20 - November 3, 2014 at 3331 Arts Chiyoda. Since DOMMUNE's first broadcast in March 2010, this online media platform has continued to broadcast its live streaming talk and DJ shows internationally, pulling an audience of about 10,000 simultaneous views each time, totaling over 45 million viewers. The mastermind behind all of this, Naohiro Ukawa, is an artist of integrative thinking, having been involved in a wide range of activities as a graphic designer, VJ, writer, university professor, contemporary artist and more.

This exhibition will be held as an opportunity to call the world's attention to Japan's own way of contemporary art, as Naohiro Ukawa's outward and versatile omnidirectional approach radically recaptures and opens up art's potential.
During the exhibition, DOMMUNE's streaming studio will be shifted to 3331, holding live broadcasts day after day in celebration of artists from around the world.

100 japanese contemporary artists 3331 dommune

「THE 100 JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS」
As the country moves towards the landmark year 2020, DOMMUNE will unravel the 100 artists representing contemporary Japan by launching the autobiographical interview series「THE 100 JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS」!! Kicking off the series will be 20 artist appearances over 20 live broadcasts (approx. 40 hours total). Meanwhile, each artist's artwork will be exhibited alongside an archive of their live appearance on the show.
From the endlessly metabolic base for expressive activity that is Tokyo, the very breath, words, and philosophy of living artists will be passed on to the next generation, while linking "present progressive art" with a worldwide audience, thus working to build a global network.

▷Live broadcasts on view in the gallery from the following day!! All archives released in succession!!
Footage of each guest artist's interview will be continually re-aired in sequence in the gallery, so they can be enjoyed even at times when there is no live recording. Gearing up towards the landmark year 2020, subtitled versions will be made accessible through a free online archive at the same time.
▷A simultaneous exhibition featuring 20 guest artists!!
An exhibition of carefully selected works from each participating artist will be presented alongside the archive of each artist's appearance on the show.

▷A succession of participating artists is set to go!!!

Director/Curator:

Naohiro Ukawa (DOMMUNE)

Born in Kagawa Prefecture in 1968, held professorship at Kyoto University of Art and Design. Filmmaker, graphic designer, VJ, writer, and "contemporary artist"... Ukawa adopts an omnidirectional approach to an exceedingly wide variety of artistic activities. A praised "MEDIA THERAPIST", he has crossed out accepted fine art and popular culture in turning towards the most freely expressive activities Japan has on offer. March 2010 marked his sudden independent launch of the live streaming studio/channel "DOMMUNE", an online media platform that has hit record view counts and has become a Japan Media Arts Festival recommended work through its continuous call for discussion both domestically and abroad. Currently, DOMMUNE remains Ukawa's profession.
