The opening of the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery was celebrated with its first exhibition, Releasing the Senses, 9 Sept 1999 to 21 Nov. The show features a variety of mixed-media and installation works by an international group of artists: Anya Gallaccio (London), Christian Marclay (New York), Martin Walde (Vienna), and Japan's Saburo Muraoka. Conceived on the basis of the five elemental senses (smell, touch, sight, sound and taste), installations such as Gallaccio's bio-degradable salt pillars and Saburo's gaseous works, Releasing the Senses brings our attention back to art's most direct communicative and sensual qualities in an age of theoretical interpretation and Neo-conceptualism. Messages from the International Advisors; essay by curator, Mami Kataoka; plus biographical information. (Originally included eight postcards which have been catalogued separately.)
