The title 'Can there be art?' is a reference to the words of the late artist Teiji Furuhashi of Dumb Type, who is known to have asked this question in the aftermath of the collapse of Japan's bubble economy in 1990s. This old-yet-new question inquires whether art can exist outside of the art world’s confines, away from the society in general, and as such provides a starting point for this exhibition to re-examine the essence and potential of Japnaese art and to seek the directiron of its future development at a time when the world is at the midst of global economic crisis and environmental problems.
The present catalogue includes introductions to the exhibited works, plates of works, and artist biographies.
