Mami Kataoka: Fragments of our time; New Japanese Contemporary Art
Open Lecture
Globalisation and multiculturalism since the 1990s have created an unprecedented interest in contemporary Japanese art in the international world. The new images of contemporary Japanese culture have been widely disseminated with the introduction of new terms such as ‘cool Japan’, kawaii, anime and otaku, and artists who reflected these new images, such as Nara Yoshitomo and Murakami Takashi, have become internationally known. Meanwhile, young artists who were born after the 1970s have been turning away from these images and concentrating on smaller, fragmented, fragile, floating expressions that connect their works in an extremely loose manner. This lecture will illustrate the current trend of contemporary Japanese art since 2000 and discuss relevant social historical and generational issues.
Open Lecture by guest speaker Mami Kataoka, a curator who divides her time between two cities as international curator at the Hayward, London and senior curator at the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.

Maria Pask in conversation ‘ Lost Horizon’
Conversation
The artist will introduce some of her recent projects and focus on the diverse range of interests that form the basis of her art. Maria Pask’s art takes place primarily in projects that focus on processes and include people from a wide variety of social groups. She will reflect on how subject matter becomes lost in a process-based performative practice of open formats and social interactions. On her work at Munster last year, see sculpture projects 07 on www.beautifulcity.de and for a range of projects see the link.
