IMAGINARY MUSEUM OF THE O-COLLECTION - magical museum tour, the continuation of a series first launched in 2007, introduces emerging Japanese contemporary artists through a collector's world view we explore the meaning of collecting art. Last year two shows were titled Alternative (Post) Modern: Room 7 and Room 8 focuses on the community at loose in the present day. This latest show focuses on the new activities of 7 emerging artist groups. Now times are changing very fast, and Art desires to express a 'freshness,' the present moment, a connection to time and place, and the making of a relationship. In these occasions, we consider that "What is the collection?,""What will you collect?"and seek to challenge from the static notion of the noun "collection" to the dynamic notion of the verb "collect."

Tokyo Portfolio Review is a review event for the work of young, talented and emerging photographers which G/P gallery organize in operation with Tokyo Wonder Site and "Foam magazine", the magazine of contemporary art photography in Amsterdam. Portfolios of the artists who were recommended by Recommender Team will be reviewed in public for 3 days by Review Team consists of gallerists, publisher and photo critic.

14 stories, spun from meetings in and departures from Tokyo.

A fundamental question raised during Tokyo Wonder Site Creator in Residence Program;

"We all die. Let's talk about real thing."

Joonho Jeon discovered Bunraku in Tokyo, through which he explored commonalities between Korea and Japan. A human bone carved out of Zelkova lets us forget about the death in front of us, while casting out the impossibilities of religion and raising an important question. We need religions when living becomes difficult like nowadays; but what can a religion do for us? We can hear urgent cries, as the result of impossibilities and hopes intertwining together.

But Åbake, who can flip such question up and down, would probably raise a question back to you:
"What is real?"

Tokyo Wonder Site Aoyama : Creator in Residence was established in 2006 and has hosted around 400 creators and supported their research and production. Also, we have supported young emerging artists departing Japan to participate in residencies abroad. This is a platform for fundamental questions raised by such artists.

We would like to reconsider the questions raised by all creators between 2009/2010.

It is our great pleasure to inform you that Tokyo Wonder Site will be hosting Emerging Artist Support Program 2009.
This program consists of three separate projects which were selected from 33 applications last year.

Emerging Artists Support Program 2009：
Right after its opening in 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site launched the "TWS-Emerging" series with the aim to foster young creators. In addition to this program for artists, a support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006, inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.


【MEAT SHOP SPY】

This exhibition presents "spy activity" playing in a meat shop, by means of an installation. Unlike the spy described in the entertainment including movies, who would attempt to gain information from a nation or a huge authority, the spy in this exhibition tries to get information from a small meat shop in a town. In the tiny meat shop "visible" and "invisible" portions of the huge social structure and food culture are hidden.
The activity of the spy starts by infiltrating a meat shop somewhere in Tokyo, in working as an employee. The spy collects information related to the exterior and the interior of the meat shop (the wall, the floor, the door and the light), the tools (the meat-cutting knives, the glass cases and the machinery) and confidential information (love and betrayal between the shop owner and an employee). The collected information in notes, photos, videos or souvenirs, is going to be recreated into another material.
A "second meat shop" will be set up in the venue, combining fiction and reality related to the information, visible and invisible parts of the society. This illustrates the confrontation between individual and society, in the form of a continuous spy activity.

【Deep Dig Dug】

Like miners building up a tunnel system together, artists can build networks with like-minded people through communication beyond the differences of nationalities and languages. Following this idea five artists from Japan, Germany and Spain with their various cultural backgrounds will turn TWS Hongo into a grotto, an artificial cave as a metaphor for a fictitious meeting point of artists and visitors.
The title of the exhibition combines "DIGDUG" (name of an 8 bit strategy video game released by Namco in the mid 80's, in which one digs caves in virtual landscapes) with the English word "deep". This refers not only to the action of "digging forward" as the theme of the exhibition, but also reminds one of the common influence of mass media and comic culture on the work of these five artists, despite their varied approaches to creating art.
The interlacing of a wall painting that displays physical effects by Motoko Dobashi, paintings made by Kaori Nakajima, digital collages by Pablo Alonso, photographs by Martin Hast, and the sound emanating from sculpture by Matthias Maenner reveal multiple images of an underground world.

Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo is to host an exciting new exhibition in the IMAGINARY MUSEUM of the O-collection - magical museum tour. This latest installment in the series is Room 5 "Chiezo Taro - Posthuman artist".

This latest show, the continuation of a series launched last year, is like the others composed of works from the collection of Mr. Satoshi Okada. Our aim is to provide a permanent venue for works by emerging Japanese contemporary artists similar to the permanent exhibitions in an art museum. In conjunction with the series, programs such as TWS-Emerging and INDEX#4 involving students and young artists in their 20s and 30s are being run to help forge ties among artists, and artists and art lovers. Two shows were exhibited last year to considerable acclaim: Room 1: Kuwahara & Kato - According to the "basso ostinato" of Japanese traditional mentality and Room 2: Yuichi Higashionna, Daisuke Ohba & Akiyoshi Mishima - Design and Soul.

The Okada collection includes numerous leading works by emerging Japanese artists, but selected from unconventional perspectives while the artists in question were still unknown. The collection could also be described as an attempt to explore the depths of what it means to be human, including the irrationality of human nature. In that the works here reflect and convey the diverse sensibilities emanating from the megalopolis of Tokyo, they go beyond the confines of a personal collection to present a universal challenge.
Room 5 showcases the work of Chiezo Taro. This show in a series of rooms at an imaginary art museum will run for approximately five months. Watch out after that for the next installment Room 6, featuring work by Toshiyuki Konishi and Fumiaki Akahane.

Taro, and old friend of mine, is in my view some kind of mad scientist rather than an artist. He got aware of the limitations of anthropocentric thinking quite early, and the works he comes up with are all grotesque pieces of art that seem to be ridiculing the value concepts of inwardness. That grotesqueness tells us through suddenly appearing notions of violence about the presence of something huge and horrendous beyond human scale, and it is the existence of that menace that serves as the best proof of the invalidity of anthropocentric thinking. What better description than "posthuman artist" for him then?

(Satoshi Okada Representative, Art Acephale)

Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo is to host an exciting new exhibition in the IMAGINARY MUSEUM of the O-collection - magical museum tour. This latest installment in the series is Room 4 "Julian Schnabel - Poem of a clumsy diver".

This latest show, the continuation of a series launched last year, is like the others composed of works from the collection of Mr. Satoshi Okada. Our aim is to provide a permanent venue for works by emerging Japanese contemporary artists similar to the permanent exhibitions in an art museum. In conjunction with the series, programs such as TWS-Emerging and INDEX#4 involving students and young artists in their 20s and 30s are being run to help forge ties among artists, and artists and art lovers. Two shows were exhibited last year to considerable acclaim: Room 1: Kuwahara & Kato - According to the "basso ostinato" of Japanese traditional mentality and Room 2: Yuichi Higashionna, Daisuke Ohba & Akiyoshi Mishima - Design and Soul.

The Okada collection includes numerous leading works by emerging Japanese artists, but selected from unconventional perspectives while the artists in question were still unknown. The collection could also be described as an attempt to explore the depths of what it means to be human, including the irrationality of human nature. In that the works here reflect and convey the diverse sensibilities emanating from the megalopolis of Tokyo, they go beyond the confines of a personal collection to present a universal challenge.
Room 4 showcases the work of Julian Schnabel. This show in a series of rooms at an imaginary art museum will run for approximately five months. Watch out after that for the next installment Room 5, and more, featuring work by Chiezo Taro, Toshiyuki Konishi and Fumiaki Akahane.

Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo is to host an exciting new exhibition in the IMAGINARY MUSEUM of the O-collection - magical museum tour. This latest installment in the series is Room 3 "Kozo Uchida, Hitoshi Kuriyama and COBRA - the imaginary HOTEL magical".

 Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo is pleased to announce an exhibition titled "INDEX #4 - YES WE CAN DESTROY -". Part of an affiliate program with universities, this string of exhibitions was designed as a stage for practical experience for art management students, and a platform for exchange among a young generation of artists. This event marks the third exhibition co-hosted by Tokyo Wonder Site, reflecting the meaning and significance we are seeing in occasions for students from the Kansai region to exhibit their works in Tokyo.

Right after its opening in 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site launched the "TWS-Emerging" series with the aim to foster young creators. In addition to this program for artists, a support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006, inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.
In the previous two rounds we received next to entries from planners (curators) also numerous exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions with their own participation. Many of those artists' selfproduced exhibition outlines were based on innovative ideas for types of art beyond existing genres.
In this year, three exhibition plans: "Normadic! Shayne Ehman & Friends" by Aya Takada, "DIG & BURY'S Yuji Oda" by Nobuhiko Terasawa and "OCTO_HASI BALKAN PICNIC" by Natalija Ribovic and Toru Fujita, were selected and presented at TWS Hongo.

Tokyo Wonder Site is pleased to announce its next exhibition, " IMAGINARY MUSEUM of the O-collection - magical museum tour ".
Present day Tokyo is in need of more occasions to see Japanese young contemporary artists' works on a regular basis. This is why we decided to present young Japanese artists' works from the Satoshi Okada Collection in a permanent exhibition at Tokyo Wonder Site Hongo for about half a year. The Okada Collection encompasses a huge number of works representing a young generation of Japanese artists, each selected from an individual perspective at a time when the respective artist was still unknown. The collection can be considered as an attempt to explore the depth of the human mind with all its irrationalities. Also in terms of reflecting and communicating the wealth of different sensibilities that emerged out of the environment of metropolitan Tokyo, these works appeal to the viewer as parts of an exhibition that exceeds the framework of a private collection.

Video Art from London is the project which nominated for the curating competition.(This competition purposes for supporting emerging curators and artists)

This exhibition introduces video works of young artists based in London. Artists with various cultural backgrounds are active in multicultural London. Reflecting this situation, not all of the artists in this show were born in the U.K.. For these artists living in a world filled with variety and multiculturalism, working with video art might be a way of crossing cultural differences. The artists works deal with bodies and movement, humour hidden within the everyday, the unpredictable born from a twisted perspective, skepticism towards cultural stereotypes, and ambivalent feelings towards nature. Such themes are sharable by people living in the contemporary global society. Video art is one of the most accessible forms of art today. Hence, this exhibition will provide an opportunity to facilitate an encounter between artists showing their work for the first time in Japan, and the Japanese audience. We hope to provide a common ground crossing the geographical distance between the U.K. and Japan, whilst dwelling this global world.

It is a public subscription exhibition that was installed in Tokyo Wonder Site as a stage for young artists to present their works to a large number of art fans. In this program designed to support young artists following the concept of "buy = support", selected entries of small, two-dimensional works (paintings, prints, illustrations, photographs, etc.) from all across Japan are displayed and offered for sale. The works of approximately 100 artists chosen from about a large number of entries every year are exhibited at TWS Shibuya, where visitors can purchase the works they like. Next to the support of young artists, another idea behind Wonder Seeds is the fostering of young art fans, and the animation of the general public to buy art .

Space Design: Tokyo Wonder Site

TV Moore is the young artist from Australia who works on installation mainly. This is his first visit to Japan for the exhibition in Osaka, "Osaka Art Kaleidoscope '05" (Contemporary Art Space Osaka, Osaka). At this ARTIST TALK, TV Moore is going to talk about his creation, screening his video works.

 It is a public subscription exhibition that was installed in Tokyo Wonder Site as a stage for young artists to present their works to a large number of art fans. In this program designed to support young artists following the concept of "buy = support", selected entries of small, two-dimensional works (paintings, prints, illustrations, photographs, etc.) from all across Japan are displayed and offered for sale. The works of approximately 100 artists chosen from about a large number of entries every year are exhibited at TWS Shibuya, where visitors can purchase the works they like. Next to the support of young artists, another idea behind Wonder Seeds is the fostering of young art fans, and the animation of the general public to buy art.

Exhibition of video installation by Masayuki Kawai in public place. The work is the projected images on the four windows in Shibuyaku Kinroukaikan (Worker's Welfare Hall Shibuya), which are facing the Koen Street, and people can watch the images at the street. Motifs of the works are selected from Man'yōshū ("Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves", the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry). Images change from hour to hour, so they also tell the time like a public clock. This is the artwork about "time" in the city view of information society.

Language is one of the themes addressed in the art of Candice Breitz, who says, "Language inhabits and determines one's relationship to the world." Her exhibition at TWS was the occasion for the world premiere of her film "Aiwa to Zen." Conceived during Breitz's first visit to Japan in 2002, the work was shot and produced in Tokyo. It is structured 100 or so Japanese words first heard by the artist before coming to Japan. The stereotypical but somewhat odd characters, including a "Super-salary man," speak a nonsensical language a form of Japanese consisting entirely of brand names and images that are still regarded as exotic. We tend to think we live in an age when all information travels instantaneously and is shared universally, but this film makes us aware that Japan's image is perceived only through words of this sort. Through Breitz's work, visitors witnessed moments in the paradoxical and mysterious relationship between people, language and the world.
