The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo houses approximately 5,600 artworks in its extensive collection, which spans the modern and contemporary periods with a focus on the art of the postwar years. Each installment of the “MOT Collection” exhibition introduces artworks in the collection from various themes and angles in its effort to convey the diverse appeal of contemporary art.
This exhibition is structured around two themes.
On the 1st floor, works from the end of the 1980s onward will be presented under the title, “Membrane of Time." Starting with recently acquired works by Seiko Mikami, we introduce a diverse selection of works including those by Tomoaki Ishihara, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Takashi Homma, Yoshiaki Kaihatsu, Mika Kato, Kohei Nawa, Aya Momose, Ishu Han, Thomas Demand, Lijun Fang in an attempt to look at the changing concepts of the body and outlook on life that is observed there.
The 3rd floor section titled “Breathing” consists of a group of works that evoke the flow of wind, water, and air as it connects to people's breathing and circulates around the world. Beginning with a series of large-scale paintings by Sam Francis, of which this year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth, we showcase works by Montien Boonma, Pich Sopheap, Toshikatsu Endo, Yoko Matsumoto, and others that serve to open up the viewer’s senses.
