Perhaps one of the most talked-about exhibitions this winter is “Roppongi Crossing” at the Mori Art Museum. Held triennially and currently in its 4th iteration, the exhibition attempts to comprehensively survey the Japanese art scene. Chief curator Mami Kataoka organized the show, bringing together 29 artists/groups – many in their 30s and 40s but also with an unexpected sprinkle of seasoned veterans born in the 1930s and 40s.
The theme for the show is “Out Of Doubt.” “At a time when Japan is witnessing a heightening of social awareness, the “doubt” directed at socially accepted ideas and existing institutions has become a driving force generating all manner of discussions and activities.”
Roppongi Crossing is on display till January 13, 2014

Thank you for posting this! This was one of my favorite exhibitions I attended in Tokyo and I’m glad someone has photos as I couldn’t take any.
