Roppongi Crossing 2019 | TABlog | Tokyo Art Beat www.tokyoartbeat.com

In the sixth Roppongi Crossing, Mori Art Museum curators Reiko Tsubaki, Hirokazu Tokuyama, and Haruko Kamakura focused their choice of 25 locally active and mostly young artists/artist groups around the loose subtitle “Connexions”.
They highlight technology, social observation and unusual pairings as recurring themes to be found in the works on display.
At the press briefing for this contemporary art showcase held every three years, there was also an expression of hope—hope that art would utilise these key points to improve our world.
At Roppongi Crossing, the Spanish-Japanese artist’s work spreads across the wall and spikes to represent a 20-year market forecast.
The video work here, “My Anthem,” features senior Taiwanese subjects dressed in sailor-style school uniforms who recall their childhoods as Japanese colonial subjects.
