“Close to the Edge: New Photography from Japan” Exhibition
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA art prospects
This event has ended.
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA presents Close to the Edge: New Photography from Japan from April 21 to May 28, 2016, featuring works by Kenta Cobayashi, Mayumi Hosokura, Taisuke Koyama, Hiroshi Takizawa and Daisuke Yokota.
Over the past year, there have been several major museum and cultural institution exhibitions and events in the United States presenting historical and contemporary photography from Japan. They have included For a New World to Come (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Grey Art Gallery and Japan Society, NYC); In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Japan Society, NYC); Miyako Ishiuchi and Contemporary Japanese Photography (J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles); and the Shashin Festival and Symposium (New York Public Library and the International Center of Photography, NYC). With American audiences now gaining expanded access to information about Japan’s rich photographic history through these museum shows, a desire to learn more about young Japanese photographers and the current Tokyo scene has arisen. Our upcoming gallery exhibition Close to the Edge: New Photography from Japan, curated by New York-based writer and photobook collector Russet Lederman, brings to New York City for the first time works by five young Japanese photographers in their 20s and 30s who explore the boundaries of image making in a post-Internet art world.
