The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 struck the hearts of many young Japanese artists, numbing them and causing some to lose their passion for creating new work, while others put into question the very nature of their artistic endeavors. In response, the seven Japanese artists in this exhibition, re-evaluated their roles as representatives of one of Japan’s new artistic legacies.

Forsaking Pop features seven emerging Japanese artists, Jin Hashimoto, Ayaka Nakamura, Yutaka Okada, Naritaka Satoh, Aki Sakamoto, Yumiko Shimada, Yusuke Wakata.
