Catalogue published to accompany 'Twist and Shout: Contemporary Art from Japan', a group exhibition at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre from November 2009 to January 2010. It features 17 artists whose works incorporate popular and familiar images and expressions while confronting urgent issues in Japanese society. They reflect young people's need to 'twist' and 'shout' — being withdrawn on one hand, yet exhibiting extrovert behavior on the other — two contrasting tendencies that characterise Japanese youth culture in the 2000s.
Artist biographies included.
