Message from the Editor
The Japanese art scene revived and revamped
To coincide with our fourth anniversary, we decided to revamp both
the content and design of ART iT. The website www.art-it.jp has also
been overhauled, with a number of articles and the Exhibition
Calendar transferred there. In addition we have launched ART iT
e-news, and will offer exhibition reviews plus a plethora of other
exclusive content. The art scene changes by the day, and using both
print and internet we'll be aiming to respond as quickly as possible.
Japanese contemporary art, for a time eclipsed by work coming out of
the likes of China and India, is looking healthy again too at long
last. A younger generation of artists have honed their abilities and
are ambitiously producing and presenting a stream of new work. There
have also been some noteworthy successes in relations with the
international art world.
By an odd coincidence, three shows scheduled for Tokyo this autumn
tackle the themes of 'crossing domains', 'intersection', and
'hybridization'. In a land without the history or environment of the
West, but where like every other place on Earth globalization is
proceeding apace, what constitutes original, distinctive artistic
expression? We hope you'll find the answer in this issue of ART iT.
