We can make another future: Japanese art after 1989 surveys the art of Heisei, the current era in the Japanese imperial calendar, through the presentation of around 100 pieces by more than 40 contemporary Japanese artists. Increasingly cosmopolitan in character, the art of this period offers a sophisticated reflection on the social conditions behind art’s production in Japan and the anxieties that accompany them. This exhibition will open in two stages; visit again in mid-December to view more artworks from the gallery’s contemporary Japanese collection.
