Yokohama 2001 is a never-before-seen grand-scale exhibition set against the stage
of
the city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, which neighbors Tokyo. Long awaited
by
audiences both inside and outside of Japan, this will be Japan’s first
large-scale
survey of international art featuring works by 110 artists from around the
globe. The
works cover a broad spectrum of media, such as painting, sculpture, photography,
video,
installations and performance, and also include a broad array of works connected
to
architecture, design, fashion, film, animation and comics.
The title of the exhibition, “Mega-Wave – Towards a New Synthesis†is meant to
project
the image of a great wave of art emanating from the city of Yokohama. Under this
title,
the show will attempt to introduce the forefront of world art, while at the same
time
presenting a new vision of the synthesis of art and society. Most of the
participating
artists will create a new work for the show. Each of them visits and spends time
in
the city and the exhibition site to make their work. The sites cover the immense
Pacifico
Yokohama Exhibition Hall, the Red Brick Warehouse No. 1, and several other
venues in the
seaside district.
