【Art Writer's Picks for January Art Exhibitions】Contemporary Art and Design: Enjoying the Basics of 'Art' through Various Themes
Summary
Art writer Shigeo Urashima selects three recommended art exhibitions for January that allow visitors to learn the basics of 'art' through contemporary art, design, and the relationship between Japan and Korea. The first is the Mori Art Museum's "Roppongi Crossing 2025: Time Passes, We Are Eternal," which explores the theme of 'time' through diverse media by 21 artist groups, showcasing the freedom of contemporary art. The second is the Yokohama Museum of Art's "Because We Are Always Next to Each Other: 80 Years of Art in Japan and Korea," a commemorative exhibition tracing the 80-year history of art and its relationship between Japan and Korea since 1945 through about 160 works. The third is the 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT exhibition "Design Teachers," which introduces the achievements of six masters of design, including Bruno Munari. The article concludes by advising viewers to first confront the artwork without reading the captions to fully appreciate the experience.
