Held every three years, Mori Art Museum’s ‘Roppongi Crossing’ series provides an close-up look at Japan’s changing art scene. Its sixth edition brings together 25 Japanese artists and collectives to reflect on an era in which demands for new technologies are high and information is a commodity.
A world of diversity but also conflicts sparked by political interests and an ever-growing economic disparity has become increasingly apparent on social media. The museum highlights these issues that are created through communication. As an antithesis, the participating artists offer ways of turning ideas upside down and the different types of ‘connection’ that can be found in today’s society.
