"KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Manga + Video Games" Exhibition
Japan Society Gallery
This event has ended.
KRAZY! will be New York’s first major show dedicated to the Japanese phenomenon of Anime, Manga, and Video Games— three forms of contemporary visual art that are exercising a huge influence on an entire generation of American youth. The exhibition, organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery, will be presented in an environment designed by cutting-edge architectural practice Atelier Bow-Wow, featuring life-size blowups of popular figures from the worlds of anime and manga within an intriguing sequence of spaces that evoke Tokyo’s clamorous cityscape. Co-curated by leading North American and Japanese specialists, KRAZY! will give visitors a direct experience of new forms of cultural production and offers fresh insight into the interdependence of three art forms of the future.
